Hertha BSC – Arminia Bielefeld

Hertha BSC head into the clash at the Olympiastadion as league leaders, sitting atop the table with 22 points from an unbeaten run of seven wins and a draw, having scored 19 and conceded just eight. Their visitors, Arminia Bielefeld, occupy eighth place with 11 points after three victories, two draws and three defeats, a side that has both scored and let in 13 goals. The gap of 11 points and a superior goal difference give the hosts a clear statistical edge, but Bielefeld will be keen to close the distance and prove they can challenge the top‑flight leaders on their own turf. Both teams will be aware that a win could see Hertha stretch their lead further, while Bielefeld looks to climb back into the European spots.
