Union Berlin form and stats
1 victory, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Union Berlin have to build on here at Stadion An der Alten Försterei in the Bundesliga. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Union Berlin.
An away draw last time out for Union Berlin, facing Hoffenheim in a game that ended 0-0. Before that, Berlin drew at home versus Freiburg.

Arminia Bielefeld form and stats
The Bundesliga season is young and Arminia Bielefeld have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 2 defeats so far. It's looking increasingly bleak for Bielefeld who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Köln was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Bielefeld have lost on their last two travels.
Home advantage was not enough for Bielefeld in their previous game, as they lost their Bundesliga-match, hosting Borussia Dortmund, 0-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Wolfsburg wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Arminia Bielefeld goalkeeper Stefan Ortega had a great day against Borussia Dortmund, but despite making eight 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, three draws and one defeat. From a total of six matches.
The attacking power of Bielefeld when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. As opposed to that, Arminia Bielefeld have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
