Late goals

New club record

Arminia set a new club record in that 2-0 win over the Red Devils, it being the 13^th away game in a row in which they have scored at least once. The last time they drew a blank on the road was a 1-0 defeat at FC Nürnberg on 12 March 2017.

Free-kick specialist

In the 2-2 draw against Eintracht Braunschweig midfielder Tom Schütz opened the scoring with a direct free-kick, the third time he has scored in that manner in 2017. His overall total in the second division is four.

Ever-present

A total of 17 second-division players have yet to miss a minute of the current season. For Arminia, goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has played every single minute. Midfielder Manuel Prietl has missed one game, while Bielefeld's leading scorer, Andreas Voglsammer, has missed just 127 minutes.

Golden touch

Arminia coach Jeff Saibene has made the best substitutions so far this campaign. The players he has brought on have already been involved in nine goals, scoring scored five themselves, more than any other team in the league. Andraz Sporar has contributed two goals from the bench, with Konstantin Kerschbaumer, Leandro Putar and Sören Brandy all on target once.
