Hertha's 1-0 home win last week against Hoffenheim knocked the visitors off the top of the table.

That win, courtesy of Voronin's second half winner, was the capital club's third home win in a row and saw Hertha move up to fifth.

They face a Hamburg side on Saturday who won 2-1 against Dortmund last week but who have started to suffer a dip in form in the past few weeks.

Hamburg have lost two of their last four games (at Hannover and Hoffenheim) and each of those defeats saw them lose 0-3.

Martin Jol's team are 2-1-3 away from home (their other defeat was also 0-3) and those two wins were against the bottom two sides in the league.

Their form throughout the start to this season has been patchy. They've managed to ride their luck at times, but that is starting to desert them.

Hertha look in a good position to take advantage of this - they have won four of their last six in the Bundesliga, keeping three clean sheets in the process.

There are still defensive concerns over Hertha (they lost 5 at Werder and 4 at Bayern), but they do look a little more confident in Berlin and they are facing a side who themselves look very different away than home.

Jol's side don't look like a top four side and with their performances so far away from home, the $2.63 offered by Stan James on Hertha does look very good value.
