Bielefeld's league form reads very differently: one win, two draws and three losses, with 12 goals shipped already. They've shown some fight, holding Heidenheim and St. Pauli to draws, but the defeats have added up quickly.

There's still a month until kickoff, so this snapshot could look a bit different by matchday.

Comparative Team Statistics: Hertha Berlin vs Arminia Bielefeld

Head-to-head history

These two have met several times down the years, mostly back when both were in the top flight. The most recent league meeting, last season, saw Bielefeld win 6-1, with a 1-1 draw the game before that.

Given how differently both sides have started this campaign, that older history doesn't tell us much about how this one is likely to go.

Table shows a big early gap

After six league games, Hertha sit top of the table with 18 points from six wins out of six. Bielefeld are down in 13th, picking up just five points from one win and two draws.

That's a wide points gap for so early in the season, and it lines up with the eye test on both sides' recent performances.

It's still early days, so the table can move around, but right now the gap between these two is stark.

Key men to watch

Bielefeld's main outlet has been J. Grodowski, who has scored five goals in six appearances this season, well clear of any teammate.
