Arminia Bielefeld vs Borussia Dortmund Bundesliga Match Preview or Key Statistics 📊

Arminia are unbeaten in their last six home games against Dortmund (W3, D3) - their longest such run against any other current Bundesliga side.
BVB's last competitive win in Bielefeld was in October 1999 (2-0). Borussia Dortmund won all their meetings against newly-promoted sides in the second half of 2019/20: 5-1 against K6ln, 5-0 against Union and 6—1 in Paderbom.
Bielefeld have lost their last three games, having picked up four points from their opening two matches this season. Arminia have already suffered more league defeats in 2020/21 than they did across the entirety of last season's Bundesliga 2 campaign (2).
Arminia lost 4-1 again st FC Bayern in their most recent home game — it was also their first defeat in Bielefeld this calendar year (in their 11th home game).
Dortmund have won seven of their last eight Bundesliga away games (also a 2-0 defeat in Augsburg), scoring 16 and conceding just four. Borussia Dortmund have kept the most clean sheets in the Bundesliga this season (4 in 5 games).
Only Augsburg have managed to score against BVB (2-0 win at home). Bielefeld’s Sven Schipplock scored his first Bundesliga goal since May 2017 (for Darmstadt away at Gladbach back then) in Woifsburg last time out.
He has been subbed on in 100 of his 154 BL appearances, scoring 11 of his 20 top-flight goals from the bench. Dortmund's Erling Haaland has scored 18 goals in his first 20 Bundesliga games, a record only battered by Uwe Seeler (19) in the inaugural Bundesliga season in 1963/64.
