Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Total Goals – Under 2.5 Goals – 1.80
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Both Teams to Score – NO – 2.00
Under 2.5 Goals
A menacing attacking threat is not really something that either Arminia Bielefeld or Augsburg have to offer. The hosts are the lowest scorers at home in the Bundesliga this season, averaging just a goal per game at Schuco Arena, while the visitors are the second-lowest scorers on the road, scoring less than a goal per game on average. Unsurprisingly, only 42% of Bielefeld’s home matches have contained more than two goals.
Both Teams to Score – NO
On the same theme as above, a lack of offensive quality is hard to overlook. Not only are these two some of the worst the Bundesliga has to offer when it comes to goals scored, but they both rank poorly in terms of shots too. Augsburg rank in the bottom six for shots away from home, as do Bielefeld at home. The visitors have also failed to score in a rather chunky 42% of their away matches this term.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Arminia Bielefeld vs Augsburg
It was an unhappy weekend for Arminia last weekend, as they lost by three goals to nil away against Leverkusen. It was a case of same old, same old with the team fighting for survival, who followed a promising win with a disappointing defeat, and not for the first time this season.
As things stand, Friday’s hosts find themselves two points above the dreaded drop-zone, so it’s not all doom and gloom, and if they can continue to be tough to beat at home, then Frank Kramer’s men have a very real chance of extending their stay in Germany’s elite division. It’s now six games since Bielefeld tasted defeat at home.
While the hosts were left disappointed last time out, Friday’s visitors earned themselves a reprieve by holding Borussia Dortmund to a draw on home soil. After back-to-back defeats, such a result should have really lifted the spirits of Markus Weinzierl’s men, who are currently two points below Bielefeld, out of the relegation zone on goal difference only. Improvement is needed if the men in white are tok avoid being sucked into a serious scrap for survival.
On the road is where things have gone really wrong in recent weeks, with the visitors losing each of their last three travelling matches, though in two of those three matches, they were going up against top-six opposition. Against bottom-half opposition, things have been slightly better. Augsburg have lost only one of their last four away against teams currently in the bottom half.
Quick Rich
Something at a bigger price that appeals here is ‘Masaya Okugawa to Score Anytime’. If anyone is likely to make the difference in what ought to be a low-scoring game, then it’s likely to be the man who has eight goals for Bielefeld, scoring four of his last six at home.
