What the Coaches Are Saying
Jos Luhukay (Hertha Berlin head coach): "We need to keep our expectations in check, but we're at home and we want to go on the attack."
Armin Veh (Stuttgart head coach): "We need to be doing more in wide areas and getting balls into the box. We're still not doing that enough."

Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Hertha Berlin's Salomon Kalou has been less than effective for the club this season. The 29-year-old has one goal and is averaging a putrid 0.3 key passes per match. More will be required from the Ivorian if Hertha Berlin are to keep out of the relegation zone.
Eintracht Frankfurt's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Kraft; Shulz, Lustenberger, Heitinga, Pekarik; Skjelbred, Hosogai; Haraguchi, Ronny, Beerens; Kalou
VfB Stuttgart's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Kirschbaum; Sakai, Rudiger, Schwaab, Klein; Gruezo, Romeu; Gentner, Maxim, Leitner; Werner
