Hertha challenges Bayern's iron-grip

High-flying Hertha Berlin will attempt to loosen Bayern Munich's iron-grip in the Bundesliga on Wednesday in the German league's top-of-the-table clash.

Hertha's 2-0 win at home to Schalke on Sunday means Berlin and Bayern, the only German clubs who still have 100 percent records with three wins from three, will square off at Munich's Allianz Arena.

"We're enormously happy that we now have nine points, but Bayern is a completely different opponent," admitted Hertha's left-back Marvin Plattenhardt. "We'll need a really good day."
