Week 27 in Germany begins with a beauty, as Hertha Berlin and Union Berlin square off at the Olympiastadion Berlin in the second top-flight Berlin Derby in Bundesliga history.
Dodi Lukebakio and Vedad Ibisevic lead the line for Hertha, who starts Liverpool loanee Marko Grujic in a bid to get revenge for a 1-0 loss at Union in November.
USMNT-eligible Norway youth international Julian Ryerson starts on the bench for 12th-place Union, who enters the day a point back of their rivals. Ex-U.S. youth player Neven Subotic is on the bench for Union.
