Did you know ...
... that Bremen have won their last three matches against Hertha and eight of their last nine (one defeat)? Berlin have lost 31 times against Werder, more than against any other team.
... that Hertha are the only Bundesliga team without a point in 2012? Berlin's one goal scored and 14 conceded is the worst ratio of any Bundesliga team. All told, Hertha are winless in their last 12 Bundesliga matches (4 draws, 8 losses).

... that Otto Rehhagel will be back in action for Hertha in the Bundesliga and at Olympic Stadium for the first time in 47 years? The last time was 8 May 1965 in the 1-1 draw against Borussai Neunkirchen - exactly 17,101 days ago!

... that Werder players Philipp Bargfrede (23) and Predrag Stevanovic (21) are celebrating their birthday on Saturday? But Hertha's Peter Niemeyer and Bremen's Clemen Fritz have no reason to celebrate as they will miss the game suspended after a fifth yellow card.
