Hertha BSC take on the visitors VfB Stuttgart at "Olympiastadion" in the opening round of the Bundesliga of 2017/2018 season. The game will be played in Berlin on Saturday, August 19th.
Despite a horrible finish of the last season, Hertha BSC occupied the sixth position in the table and will perform in the UEFA Europa League in autumn. In summer "Die Alte Dame" sold John Anthony Brooks to Wolfsburg for 17 million EUR and poured them into the squad's enforcement by engaging Mathew Leckie, Davie Selke, Valentino Lazaro and Karim Rekik. In other words, Hertha BSC at least have enlarged their roster, not talking about the line-up strengthening. Pal Dardai's side entered the season with 2:0 triumph over Hansa Rostock on the road in the DFB Pokal. In previous season "Die Alte Dame" proved itself to be the home team.

Last season VfB Stuttgart performed in the 2. Bundesliga within the reclamation process, won it and returned to the elite division. "Die Schwaben" dumped the salary slip during the season in the 2. Bundesliga and this summer they dismiss mainly unimportant football players while engaged performers preliminary from the 2. Bundesliga plus signed Ron-Robert Zieler and Dennis Aogo for the line-up while loaned talented Dzenis Burnic from Borussia Dortmund.
