DFB Pokal
Last two seasons, Arminia Bielefeld and Fortuna Dusseldorf didn't have any H2H matches. However, it is essential to mention that Fortuna Dusseldorf had significantly more success against Arminia Bielefeld in the 21st century, as Rheinländer won nine of the previous 15 H2H matches.
Arminia Bielefeld team overview
The 2024/25 season was very successful for Arminia Bielefeld. The team from Schuco Arena ended as the champions of 3. Liga and shockingly played in the final of the DFB Pokal, where they lost to Stuttgart. Although Arminia Bielefeld have one of the lowest budgets in the second level of German football, they played well in the preseason as they had a 4-1-1 record and should welcome the start of the championship with a lot of confidence.
Two very important players from last season left the team, Louis Oppie and Marius Worl. The most important signing is Marvin Mehlem, who came from Hull City. He played for Arminia Bielefeld for seven seasons before leaving for Hull last summer. The club also signed Benjamin Boakye (Stuttgart II), Tim Handwerker (Jahn Regensburg), and Florian Micheler (Hoffenheim).

Fortuna Dusseldorf team overview
Fortuna Dusseldorf aren't among the biggest candidates for promotion to the Bundesliga, but they are very good and could have chances if things go their way. During the preseason, Fortuna Dusseldorf won four of six friendly matches.
Too many important players left Fortuna Dusseldorf this summer and the team is currently weaker than last season. The club has so far added some good players like Sotiris Alexandopoulos (who came from Sporting CP), Anouar El Azzouzi (Zwolle), Cedric Itten (Young Boys), and Christian Rasmussen (Ajax), but they probably need more reinforcements.
