Bochum – Arminia Bielefeld : Preview & Prediction
The 33rd matchday of the season takes place in Bochum, the home side’s home country. The season is over for the home team, but their opponents, Arminia Bielefeld, can still make the play-offs to avoid direct relegation at the end of the season. With two points behind Stuttgart, Marco Kostmann’s team must not squander the opportunity to temporarily take 16th place in order to put maximum pressure on their direct rivals, who travel to Bayern Munich on Sunday 8 May. This weekend is crucial for the DSC, which can offer itself a home final against Leipzig for its last game of the year in the German football elite. However, Cedric Brunner’s team-mates have not won any of their last nine league games so confidence is not necessarily high in the club’s ranks.
The situation is completely different for Thomas Reis’ men, who have been in the top flight for several weeks. The VFL is in 11th position and has just won in spectacular fashion in Dortmund with a score of 4-3 after being 3-2 down with 15 minutes to go. With a return to the Bundesliga assured in August, Polter and his teammates are in good spirits, having just taken seven points out of a possible 15 with a win over Hoffenheim and a draw against Leverkusen. However, the opposing team is playing for its survival in this championship and will not be going to the Vonovia Ruhrstadion for tourism!
Bochum have won 3 of their 8 home games in 2022.
Bochum have lost two and drawn one of their home games.
Bochum have not won any of their last two home games (2 draws).
Biefield have conceded an average of 3 goals in their last 5 away games.
Biefield have the worst attack in the league with 25 goals scored.
Although Bochum are coming off a great game at Borussia, the upcoming game is going to be just as tough as Biefield are struggling to finish 16th in a bid to get into the play-offs. It’s always difficult to play a team full of motivation, so to have any hope of winning, Frenchman Anthony Losilla will have to keep his troops focused from the first minute to the last. The prediction of the day is: Bochum first goalscorer but you can also play both teams score at 1.48
