Head-to-head record

• This is the 33rd Bundesliga meeting between the Foals and Arminia. Borussia don’t have a better record against any other current top-flight side (21W, 6D, 5L).
• The Foals’ record at home is even better, having won 12, drawn three and lost only once. The only home defeat came in 1971 (2-0) in the very first meeting at the Bökelberg.
• Borussia have scored 65 goals in the previous 32 meetings, while Arminia have scored 33. That works out to 3.07 goals per game.
• The last time Arminia beat the Foals in the Bundesliga was in March 2003, with a final score of 4-1 thanks to a Momo Diabang hat-trick. Bielefeld have only picked up two points in the ten meetings since then.

Statistics – presented by UNIBET

• Borussia had the best record from set-pieces in the league last year, but after three games have yet to score from a dead ball situation this season.
