Arminia Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen Preview and Team News

Arminia Bielefeld Team News

Bielefeld are unbeaten in all four of their previous matches. After losing 2-1 away to Verl in 3. Liga, they’ve responded with three straight victories and a tie last time out. 

The wins include meetings against Saarbrucken (3-1), Vfl Osnabruck (0-1), and a 0-1 away to Sportfreunde Siegen in the Westphalian Cup semi-final. 

Last time out, Bielefeld were held to a thrilling 2-2 draw at home to Hannover 96 II, ensuring a three-match unbeaten run.

Their form shows that they’re in the hunt for promotion, after 30 rounds of fixtures in 3. Liga, they’ve won 14, drawn 8, and lost 8. They’ve hauled 50 points, six behind leaders Dynamo and just one off third-placed Saarbrucken. 

Ahead of hosting the reigning Bundesliga champions, Arminia Bielefeld will be without center-forward Roberts Uldrikis, who’s sidelined with a cruciate ligament tear. Otherwise, the coaching staff will have the full complement of their squad from which to choose the starting 11.

Arminia Bielefeld Predicted vs Bayer Leverkusen Lineup

Arminia Bielefeld Predicted Lineup vs Bayer Leverkusen (4-3-3): Kersken; Lannert, Schneider, Felix, Oppie; Wörl, Russo, Corboz; Schreck, Kania, Grodowski.

Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Leverkusen have been in relatively good form in the Bundesliga. However, they’ve been unable to maintain the high standards needed to keep pace with leaders Bayern Munich.

As a result, Xabi Alonso’s men are six points behind the Bavarians after 27 rounds. This range means that as the Bundesliga enters the business end, it’s Bayern Munich with the edge. Leverkusen, however, are looking to the DFB Pokal as a source of silverware this season, and their next fixture will take them to Bielefeld.

Alonso’s men are the heavy favourites. The onus will be on them to dictate the tempo, boss possession, and break down what’s expected to be a dogged defensive showing from the 3. Liga side.

However, Alonso has to contend with a lengthy injury list, including Jeanuël Belocian, Martin Terrie, Florian Wirtz, Edmond Tapsoba, Nathan Tella, and Mario Hermoso

The squad depth and the gulf in class between these clubs will ensure that the many absentees will not affect Leverkusen’s performance.

Arminia Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

  • Pick: Bayer Leverkusen To Win
  • Odds: 1.168 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Arminia Bielefeld 0-3 Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen, as reigning Bundesliga champions, bring a higher level of skill and experience compared to 3. Liga side Arminia Bielefeld. 

Leverkusen have been in solid form overall and will be determined to keep their hopes for silverware alive. 

While Bayer have key players out, their squad depth allows them to field a competitive team. They’re therefore the safest football pick to progress to the next round of the DFB Pokal.

Arminia Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Penalty Awarded – Yes
  • Odds: 2.8 (22Bet)

Bayer Leverkusen, as a dominant Bundesliga side, will control possession and spend significant time in Arminia Bielefeld’s penalty area. This will increase the chances of defensive errors or fouls leading to a penalty.

Bielefeld will have to be physically aggressive both on and off the ball. They’ll look to go toe-to-toe with Leverkusen, which will increase the incidence of fouls and a higher risk of some of these fouls inside the penalty box.

Bayer Leverkusen boast attacking talent like Jeremie Frimpong and Patrik Schick, who are skilled at drawing fouls with their dribbling and movement in the box. These aspects back my prediction of a penalty in this match.
