Lucien Favre's side are currently second in the table, seven points off Bayern, while Hertha occupy ninth position, having gathered 38 points from their 29 league matches this term.

The fact that Dortmund have won seven of their last eight Bundesliga matches and are still seven points off the top of the table is a surprise, but they really needed to avoid defeat to Bayern on May 26.

A clever finish from Joshua Kimmich decided the contest between the top two, though, meaning that BVB have serious ground to make up in Germany's top flight when it comes to challenging for the title.

Dortmund did return to winning ways in spectacular fashion last weekend, though, as they put six goals past basement side SC Paderborn, with Jadon Sancho netting a brilliant hat-trick.
