Werder Bremen and Arminia Bielefeld will both be looking to build on their first wins of the season when the two clubs meet at the Weser Stadium for Saturday’s Bundesliga clash. Bremen took the spoils in a 3-1 victory over Schalke in gameweek two, while Arminia managed to overcome Koln by one goal to nil last weekend.

Werder Bremen won 3-1 away last time out, and now have the chance to win two of their opening three games of a new Bundesliga campaign for the first time since 2013/14. However, none of their four halves of Bundesliga action so far have been won by the home side on the day, and both first halves have produced a 2-0 scoreline for the away side.

The hosts are on a run of just one win across their last 17 Bundesliga home games (W1, D4, L12), after failing to score in 11 of those matches (D2, L9). However they did, at least, collect points in the three home games that saw them score first during that run (W1, D2).

Newly-promoted Arminia Bielefeld have scored first in both games so far, giving them their best start to a new Bundesliga season since 2007/08 (W1, D1). In turn, that extended their unbeaten league streak to 18 games (W10, D8), which includes 11 clean sheets and conceding first in just one match. Notably, nine of those 18 games produced a goalless first half, including both Bundesliga fixtures.

Going back to the start of last season, the visitors have lost just one of their 18 away league matches (W9, D8, L1), keeping 15 first-half clean sheets in the process. Ten of those games produced a 0-0 scoreline at HT, and Bielefeld conceded first in just two (D1, L1).
