Casteels, Roussillon, Brooks, Lacroix, Mbabu, Schlager, Arnold, Baku, Philipp, Steffan and Weghorst
Prediction: Hertha 1-2 Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg performed exceptionally well last season and will look to take forward the good start to the new season as well.
Hertha’s opening day loss exposed plenty of frailties at the back and it will be difficult for them to contain an attacking Wolfsburg side.
We see Wolfsburg edging this one to make it two in two.
Players to watch out for: Boateng, Jovetic, Weghorst and Mbabu.
