Hertha BSC form and stats

Overall Bundesliga stats at home this season for Hertha BSC are 5-3-7 (wins-draw-losses).

A nice win for Hertha last time playing, versus Freiburg. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with Peter Pekarík, Krzysztof Piątek and Nemanja Radonjić scoring for the victors. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Mainz 05 the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hertha have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost five.

Hertha BSC are traveling soon after this match as the Bundesliga match at Schalke 04 awaits in three days.

The Hertha fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 15 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Hertha BSC defense is not exactly impregnable. 26 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Arminia Bielefeld form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Arminia Bielefeld so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 2-5-8 (win-draw-lose).

It might be tough going out on the road again for Bielefeld, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-5 versus Borussia M'gladbach (placed 7th). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Schalke 04.

Bielefeld lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one. Bielefeld goalkeeper Stefan Ortega had a great day against Borussia M'gladbach, but despite making seven saves the loss could not be avoided.

Bielefeld are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and two defeats. From a total of six matches.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Bielefeld as they have only managed to score 11 times from 15 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Arminia Bielefeld have conceded 29 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
