Demands Herthas Leitl for Counteraction against Polder (rephrased) - Advocates for a Mindset Counter to Münster: Declaration by Hertha Leitl
Football's back, and Hertha BSC is hungry for more. As the Bundesliga season winds down, Hertha aims to lay a rock-solid foundation for next season, aiming high with an undefeated streak and a respectable tally of 49 points.
"We don't settle for less," declared coach Stefan Leitl ahead of the away game against Preußen Münster. "It's about 49 points, earning respect, recognition, and maintaining the positive vibe we’ve built."
With a seven-game unbeaten streak under their belts, Hertha’s looking sharp. The recent 1-0 win over Greuther Fürth extended their streak, landing them comfortably in 11th place in the league table[1][5]. That streak’s a crucial building block as Hertha prepares to take on Preußen Münster and Hannover 96.
Leitl’s aiming for three more wins to close out the season, eying a 10-game unbeaten streak. First up: Preußen Münster.
"Coaching changes free up energies," explained Leitl about Münster, who notched a 5-0 win over Magdeburg last week following a change at the helm[5]. The 16th-placed team needs points to stay afloat, and Leitl is confident his troops are ready. "We've got to keep our focus and play to our strengths."
Leitl will be without ten players though, including suspended Toni Leistner[5]. But the coach's got backups in mind, and the team's been training hard for the challenge.

Team Availability and Adjustments
Hertha's got a few missing pieces, with confirmed absences like Jeremy Dudziak and Luca Schuler, and potential changes like Derry Scherhant aiming for a recall ahead of Florian Niederlechner[5]. The team must adapt smartly to these gaps while maintaining the consistent play that's powered their unbeaten streak.
