Arminia Bielefeld will host Hamburg at the Bielefelder Alm in the 2.Bundesliga on Saturday, looking to get their first points on the board.
Die Arminen have lost all three games this season and are languishing second from bottom in the league table. Eintracht Braunschweig are the only other team in the division without a point.
Bielefeld's only saving grace has been the 7-1 drubbing of Engers in the DFB-Pokal cup last month. With the win, Uli Forte's side sealed their place in the second round.
Hamburg, meanwhile, have collected six points in three league games, with a shock 1-0 loss to Hansa being the only anomaly. The Red Shorts also booked their place in the next round of the cup following a nervy 3-1 victory over Bayreuth.
