- Schalke have won five and drawn one of their last six games against Hertha. The last win for the Berliners came back in September 2006.
- Hertha have won 18 out of 27 home games against Schalke in the league (seven defeats, two draws).
- The Berliners have failed to win any of their last 14 home games and will equal the all-time Bundesliga record for a winless home run set by Tasmania in 1965/66 (15) if they fail to beat Schalke.
- Bremen (28) are the only side that has picked up more away points than Schalke (26, the same as Bayern and Wolfsburg).
- 17 out of the 19 goals Hertha have scored in 2010 have come away from home.
- The 3-1 win over Gladbach was the 20th game in which Schalke have scored at least twice this season. Last season, the Gelsenkirchen side managed to do that just 12 times.
