Arminia Bielefeld have enjoyed a mixed start to life back in the Bundesliga. The Blues are currently 15th place in the German top-flight table, just two points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
Their current league position makes this weekend’s home match against fellow strugglers Hoffenheim a potentially vital one for both teams.
The visitor's recent form has been mixed, but there have been positive signs of late, as a 1-0 win over Hertha last time out means they have won two of their last three matches in the Bundesliga.
Their last league encounter was typical of Arminia Bielefeld’s matches of late, as it was a tight, low-scoring affair. The visitors last five league games have all produced under 2.5 goals.
Arminia Bielefeld have won just one of their seven away games in the German top-flight this season. However, a 1-0 win at Schalke in their last away game in the top-flight ended a five-game losing run in the Bundesliga for Uwe Neuhaus’ team.
Hoffenheim find themselves in a perilous position heading into this game in that they are just two points above the home side in the German top-flight table.
Sebastian Hoeness’ team have been in woeful form of late in the Bundesliga, winning just one of their last five games, while suffering four defeats in the process. A 4-0 defeat at struggling Schalke was a particularly poor result, as the Royal Blues had gone into the game without a league win in 30 league matches.
No clean sheet in 11 Bundesliga matches has not helped Hoffenheim’s chances of moving up the table. At the other end of the pitch, star striker Andrej Kramaric has scored eight times in the league this season. However, he has found the net just once in his last seven Bundesliga appearances.
Forebet predicts that Arminia Bielefeld will move above their opponents with a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
