Hertha Berlin News
Injury Report and Unavailability: Lucas Tousart, Matheus Cunha, and Jordan Torunarigha are representing their countries at the Olympics. Krzysztof Piatek continues his recovery from an ankle injury sustained at the end of last season.
Expected Changes and Strategy: This is Hertha’s final friendly and Pal Dardai might field a strong XI. New signing Jovetic could also be on show here. N Korber should be starting in goal. M Plattenhardt, N Stark, M Dardai, and P Pekarik are likely to form the backline. S Ascacbiar, S Serdar, J Dilrosun, K Boateng, and D Lukebakio could occupy the midfield positions and provide service to D Redan up top.
Hertha Berlin Starting XI (Likely)
Nils-Jonathan Korber, Marvin Plattenhardt, Niklas Stark, Marton Dardai, Peter Pekarik, Santiago Ascacibar, Suar Serdar, Javairo Dilrosun, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Dodi Lukebakio, Daishawn Redan.
Liverpool News
Injury Report and Unavailability: Alisson, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Roberto Firmino, and Joe Gomez are unavailable. Van Dijk is fit but may not start the game.
Expected Changes and Strategy: Klopp could give a run out to a lot of his regulars here but be wary of early substitutions. C Kelleher could start between the posts. K Tsimikas, J Matip, N Williams, and new signing I Konate could lineup in the back four. A Oxlade-Chamberlain, veteran J Milner, and N Keita could play in midfield. H Elliott, M Salah, and D Jota are likely to play in the forward lines.
Liverpool Starting XI (Likely)
Caoimhin Kelleher, Konstantinos Tsimikas, Joel Matip, Ibrahima Konate, Neco Williams, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Naby Keita, Harvey Elliott, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota.
Captain Options
Mohammed Salah needs no introduction. The Egyptian missed the Golden Boot last year by a whisker as he plundered in 22 goals and made six assists. Operating from the right wing, Salah likes to cut in and shoot and is a very selfish striker. It might not be the best trait but those who give him the armband won’t care as long as he brings in the points.
Diogo Jota was impressive in the Euros. He is very clinical in front of the goal and always gets into good positions. The Portuguese scored 9 goals from 19 appearances last season in the Premier League.
Differential Picks
Dodi Lukebakio could be an interesting differential choice. The right-winger scored 5 goals and made 5 assists last season in the Bundesliga.
HER vs LIV Dream11 Teams
GK: C Kelleher

Who will win?
Although Hertha has had a longer pre-season, this game will be a tall task for them. The HER vs LIV Today Match Prediction odds are in favor of Liverpool to get the win here by two goals.
