Arminia Bielefeld – Augsburg : Preview & Prediction
The result of this bottom-of-the-table clash between 14th-placed Arminia Bielefeld and 15th-placed Augsburg may well be the deciding factor in the final outcome. If the first leg did not produce a winner (1-1), this second act could turn to the advantage of Kramer’s team, which remains unbeaten on its home ground for the last four months. Indeed, Okugawa’s partners (8 goals) have not lost in the last 6 games at the Schuco Arena, recording 2 wins against Bochum (2-0) and Union Berlin (1-0) and then 4 draws against Wolfsburg (2-2), against FC Cologne (1-1), against Greuther Furth (2-2) and against Borussia M’Gladbach (1-1). Bielefeld, who lost heavily at Leverkusen (3-0) last weekend, will be keen to make amends and put their opponents at bay (+5 points if they win). Augsburg, in 15th place, can plunge into the relegation zone if they fail to win and Hertha Berlin win. Hahn’s team-mates (3 goals) are in doubt with only one point from their last three games against Borussia Dortmund (1-1) on 27 February. Weinzierl’s charges are showing their limitations away from home with only one win (Cologne) in their last 12 matches. Augsburg have recently lost 3 times away from home, at Hoffenheim (3-1), at Bayer Leverkusen (5-1) and at Borussia M’Gladbach (3-2) on 12 February. A fourth consecutive away defeat would be catastrophic for Augsburg in their bid to stay in the top flight.
