Dortmund set to edge past Bundesliga new boys

Dortmund set to edge past Bundesliga new boys
2747

On Saturday afternoon, Arminia Bielefeld host Dortmund at the Schuco Arena in the Bundesliga, as Dortmund look to build on a decent start to their likely challenge for the German top-flight title this season.

Arminia Bielefeld have struggled for points in the Bundesliga since winning promotion. Uwe Neuhaus’ team kicked off their campaign by taking four points from their opening two league games. However, it has been all downhill since, as the home side have now suffered three straight Bundesliga defeats. Last time out they suffered a 2-1 defeat at Wolfsburg.

A lack of clean sheets has been a factor in their recent poor results in the Bundesliga, as they have kept just one clean sheet in the German top-flight this season.

Arminia Bielefeld have had mixed fortunes on home soil this season in the league, beating Koln 1-0 before a 4-1 home defeat by reigning champions Bayern Munich in their last home game.

Dortmund are currently third-place in the Bundesliga, a point behind league leaders RB Leipzig after a mostly positive start to the new campaign. Last time out BVB recorded a 2-0 win over Zenit in the Champions League, with Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland both getting on the scoresheet.

Lucien Favre’s team recorded a 3-0 win over Schalke in the Revierderby in their previous  Bundesliga outing, which was their fourth league win in five games.

Although Dortmund are known for their attacking play, the visitors have also been impressive in defence of late in the Bundesliga, keeping clean sheets in four of their five games this season.

BVB have a stellar recent away record dating back to last season, as they have won seven of their previous eight league matches in the Bundesliga.

Forebet predicts that Dortmund will record a narrow victory to maintain their recent decent run of form and extend Bielefeld’s losing  run in the Bundesliga.
