On October 24, 2026, in the 9th round of the 2. Bundesliga, Hertha BSC will host Arminia Bielefeld. The home side enter the match after dropping their first points of the season, while the visitors, buoyed by their win, will look to pick up points in Berlin and start a winless run for Hertha.
Hertha Berlin vs Arminia Bielefeld: What to Expect
Hertha BSC
Hertha go into this home match as league leaders. The Berlin side have accumulated 22 points after eight matchdays, with seven wins and one draw, and a goal difference of 19:8. The team are showing consistency in both phases of play and remain unbeaten in the league. This strong start has raised fans’ expectations for their fight to return to the Bundesliga. Therefore, the prediction for the Hertha BSC vs Arminia Bielefeld match will largely depend on whether the home side can maintain their winning form following their first loss of points.
In their last game, Hertha drew 0:0 with Holstein Kiel. The team created several dangerous chances but couldn’t get past the opposition goalkeeper, who saved his team on numerous occasions. This result ended a seven-game winning run but did not affect the club’s top-of-the-table position. Ahead of their next match, Stefan Leitl’s side must improve their finishing. The result will also depend on how well the Berliners recover from their draw in Kiel.
Arminia Bielefeld
Bielefeld are eighth in the table with 11 points and a goal difference of 13:13. After eight matches, the team have three wins, two draws and three defeats. These results keep them mid-table, though away fixtures remain tough: Bielefeld have picked up just three points on the road. Despite this, their recent successes are boosting Oliver Kirch’s side’s confidence. The prediction for the visitors will depend on their defensive organisation and their ability to capitalise effectively on counter-attacks.
In their last match, Bielefeld beat VfL Osnabrück 2–1. After conceding in the 16th minute, the home side equalised from a set piece with a strike from Maximilian Bauer, and in the 85th minute, Jannik Rochelt scored the winner. The team secured their second consecutive league win, showing character and the ability to step up a gear after the break. Another factor in the prediction for the game against Hertha Berlin is that the visitors will look to contain Hertha’s attack and create chances through quick counter-attacks.
