Bundesliga newcomers Arminia Bielefeld will be looking to continue their decent start to the season as they welcome Borussia Dortmund to town this weekend, but will they be able to take anything from the game?
Arminia’s strong start to the season has quickly faded away, and they could now be looking down the barrel of a long season ahead. The newcomers started the season with a win and a draw, but since then they haven’t been able to pick up a single point. They will come into this fixture against Borussia Dortmund having lost their last three in the Bundesliga, but their poor run of form could also be down to the quality opponents that they have come up against.
They have lost against Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg in their last two games, and both of these sides will be targeting a European finish this season. Arminia have the ability to score goals, which is something that will be in their favour if they are to be locked in a relegation battle this season. However, their survival will likely hinge on fixtures against sides around them rather than against teams like Borussia Dortmund.
Dortmund have been in excellent form over the previous couple of weeks, and they will come into this game having won their previous three fixtures in the Bundesliga. It would seem as though Dortmund will be locked in a fight for the title this season, as they are just one point behind the current leaders RB Leipzig. Dortmund have an excellent selection of attacking players, but it has been their defence that has improved enormously so far this season. They have conceded just two goals so far, which is the best record in the Bundesliga.
This will be the third time that these two sides have played against each other, and it will be the first meeting in 15 years. Dortmund are unbeaten against Arminia, as they won their home fixture 2-0, and claimed a 1-1 draw away from home.
Arminia have been an excellent addition to the Bundesliga this season, but it is incredibly hard to see them getting anything from this game against Dortmund. Dortmund have the better players at both ends of the field, and this will be a comfortable win for the travelling side this weekend.
