On Saturday afternoon, Hertha Berlin plays host to VfL Bochum in what is not only their final home game of the regular season but also a crucial game.

A victory is required; else, relegation is a formality. Kevin-Prince Boateng, who will start, should contribute, claims Bild.

The 36-year-old, who will end his career at the conclusion of the current campaign, is expected to start. It would be the first time with Pal Dardai as the head coach.

The former AC Milan and Barcelona midfielder has played four games this season in the Bundesliga. Kevin-Prince Boateng's minutes per game this season is 28 minutes.

Boateng returned to Hertha BSC on  23 June 2021 from Italian club Monza. The 35-year-old helped Hertha Berlin to stay in the Bundesliga last season.

The club rewarded his effort in the playoffs by giving him a new deal which will expire at the end of the season.

The player was recently given an ambassadorial role by the city of Berlin for Euro 2024. He is expected to retire at the end of the 2022/23 football season.
