Arminia Bielefeld have endured a difficult start to the season and have yet to win a game in the Bundesliga. They had to come from behind to rescue a point against Augsburg last weekend. And they find themselves in 17th place in the Bundesliga standings going into this weekend’s game.

Arminia Bielefeld are the league’s joint lowest goalscorers, with just four goals to their name so far. But they do have a solid defence, and have conceded fewer goals than Borussia Dortmund this season.

Borussia Dortmund will still be reeling from the shock 4-0 defeat they suffered against Ajax on Tuesday. And the situation has been made even worse by the team’s latest injury crisis. But with games coming thick and fast, they cannot afford to dwell on things for too long. A comfortable win on Saturday would be the perfect way to respond to the Ajax result. And Marco Rose will be hoping that his team can get back on track against a struggling Arminia Bielefeld side.
