Arminia Bielefeld running out of time
In their last match, Bielefeld defeated Bayer Leverkusen away from home to have their first win in seven matches. They are still in danger having 21 points just one point above Hertha Berlin and Mainz who are 16th and 17th respectively.
Coach Frank Kramer knows his team is running out of time with nine matches left until the end of the season, Kramer needs improvements in his attack that hasn’t scored in four of their last five matches and also their defense that have conceded in eight of their last nine matches
In their win in Leverkusen, although Bielefeld had just 37% of Possession and only 259 completed passes to Leverkusen’s 769, Die Blauen won the game because they could convert their five shots at goal to two goals.
RB Leipzig
In their last two matches, Leipzig drew with Eintracht Frankfurt and lost ground to Bayern Munich at the top of the table who increased the gap to four points with the Bundesliga table’s second-placed side. And in the second game, Leipzig lost to Liverpool in the Uefa Champions League and got eliminated.
Despite these results, Leipzig are having a great season. They share the best defensive record in the league equally with Wolfsburg with 21 goals and before the draw with Frankfurt, Die rotten Bullen were on a seven-match winning streak.
In their match against Frankfurt, it was the first time in five matches that Leipzig scored just one goal in a match. Kramer’s team had many chances to finish the game with eight shots on target but Frankfurt’s goalkeeper Trapp had other opinions with seven saves.
