DFB Pokal
These two teams last met in the 2021/22 season when they competed in the Bundesliga. That time, Hertha won their home game 2:0, and we saw a 1:1 draw at Schüco Arena in Bielefeld. Looking further back, in the past ten h2h games, Hertha Berlin won five times, while Arminia Bielefeld won twice, although one of those was after a penalty shootout in the Cup.
Regarding the number of goals, we saw fewer than three goals in the past four games, while both teams scored just once in those last four matches.
Hertha Berlin team overview
Hertha Berlin suffered relegation from the Bundesliga in the 2022/23 season and failed to return in the following two seasons, finishing in disappointing 9th and 11th spots. This season, the popular Old Lady have done a much better job and were constantly around the promotion spots. However, after winning only one point in the past two games, they dropped to 7th place and are now five points away from the Playoffs and six away from direct promotion. Now, the upcoming period for the Old Lady is super important because it could easily decide the fate of the season. After the Armenia game, Hertha will face Schalke, Karlsruher, Darmstadt, and Elversberg - currently the 1st, 8th, 3rd, and 2nd teams on the league table!
After a 3:3 draw with Greuther Furth, coach Stefan Leitl spoke to the media. He was disappointed they did not defend well enough, especially in the second half, and let the lead slip. The coach said it was very "bitter" to drop points after leading twice.

Arminia Bielefeld team overview
Arminia Bielefeld managed to return to 2. Bundesliga by winning the 3. Liga last season. Their goal is only to survive and even though they had a solid start, it seems they are slowing down. At the moment, the Blues are in 12th place with 18 points - four points away from dropping to the danger zone. However, only one point from the past four games is undoubtedly a reason for concern.
After a goalless draw with Kaiserslautern, coach Mitch Kniat spoke to the media. He said the draw was a fair result and said the team should take confidence from the performance. However, the coach admitted they needed too long to adjust to Kaiserslautern's compact defense.

Prediction
Hertha Berlin won just one point in the previous two games against Magdeburg and Greuther Furth. However, they deserved a lot more from those matches, and we believe they would bounce back with a win. Before those two bad results, Hertha were the hottest team in the league with five wins in a row. In fact, if we include two cup games against excellent teams (Elversberg and Kaiserslautern), the Old Lady won seven in a row.
On the other hand, Armenia Bielefeld won just one point in the last four games. On the road, they have been absolutely terrible as they have won just once in eight games across the competitions. That win was a long time ago, at the start of the season in August.
Considering all the above, we believe the hosts are a much better team and should dominate this game at Olympiastadion.
3 Reasons why Hertha Berlin should win
- Hertha Berlin won seven of the past nine games
- Arminia Bielefeld have won one point in the past four matches
- Arminia Bielefeld lost back-to-back road games vs Nurnberg and Bochum
