Hertha Form & Balance Check
Hertha BSC presented their sixth coach since December 2019 in Tayfun Korkut last Monday, making the 1-1 draw in their last home game against Augsburg Pal Dardai’s last appearance. Korkut made his debut on Sunday in Stuttgart. Hertha lacked any counter-attacking security and were 2-0 down after 18 minutes of play. But BSC fought their way back into the game and earned a fair 2-2 draw with a good attacking performance. In addition, the capital club had another goal disallowed by VAR. Otherwise Hertha would have won after falling behind. In addition, BSC is without defeat for three home games.
Let the chase begin
As Hertha were ahead of the Swabians in the table before their clash with Stuttgart, BSC were looking to extend their lead. But with only one point, Hertha could not leave the 14th place in the table. Thus, the capital club has now been waiting for a win for 5 match days. However, the top half of the table is only five points away. With a three-point win on Saturday, Hertha could start a race to catch up. After all, the aim is to leave the basement zone. BSC is two points ahead of Augsburg, who are currently in the relegation zone.

Bielefeld Form & Balance Check
Arminia Bielefeld have been waiting for a win in the Bundesliga for three matches. After the Arminia won 1-0 against Stuttgart at the beginning of November, two draws and a defeat followed. However, the away win in Swabia was DSC’s only win of the season so far. Thus, Bielefeld have won only one of their 14 games so far this season. Only Greuther Fürth has won fewer games. In addition, Bielefeld has waited since 1978 for a win at Hertha.
League’s worst offence
The 2-2 draw against VfL Wolfsburg three weeks ago was a real rarity for Bielefeld. For both season goals No. 8 and 9 were scored in one game. Before that, Arminia scored a maximum of once per game. This is also shown by the goal average, which stands at 0.7 goals per game in the season so far. With a total of 10 goals in the season, Bielefeld has the weakest offensive in the Bundesliga. Even Greuther Fürth scored more goals.

Predicted line-up – last update on 9 December 2021
Hertha BSC last appeared very offensive in their first appearance under coach Tayfun Korkut. For this, Korkut used a 4-4-2 system, which Hertha played with two sixes. Since the game idea worked, except for the counter-attacking defence, we expect the capital club to play in this tactical alignment against Bielefeld as well.
Bielefeld will try to be compact. To make it as difficult as possible for the opponent, Arminia will play in a 4-2-3-1 system. This way, Bielefeld closes the spaces in the centre of their own half. The Arminia themselves are mostly dangerous from standard situations and long balls.
