Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Draw No Bet – Arminia Bielefeld – 2.20

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Both Teams to Score – YES – 1.80

Arminia Bielefeld Draw No Bet

Sure, the hosts arrive here in terrible form, but we shouldn;t ignore the fact that three of their four recent losses have come away from the comforts of home, nor should we ignore that two of those games were against two of the current top three. Without a shadow of a doubt, a home game against fellow relegation scrappers Stuttgart presents a far more manageable task for Frank Kramer’s men.

After all, Bielefeld have avoided defeat in six of their last seven at home, while this season, they’ve only lost once at home to a team that currently sits below 10th spot in the table. Combine this with the fact that Stuttgart have found wins very hard to come by away from home and the home win looks a little on the large side.

Both Teams to Score – YES

Additionally, a play on both teams to find the net is worthwhile. For all they are not the highest scorers, the hosts have notched in eight of their last nine at home. They’ve conceded in seven of those nine, while the visitors have started to make a real habit of both scoring and conceding, with both teams finding the net in each of their last seven league matches.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Arminia Bielefeld vs Stuttgart

When Arminia Bielefeld came out on top against a very useful Union Berlin side back in February, they were in a seemingly promising position. Fast forward a month or so and they’re bang in trouble. After four losses on the bounce, the Bundesliga smallfry are struggling to keep themselves afloat. They currently sit 17th, are a point from safety, and are very much embroiled in what is looking like a four-team relegation scrap.

Unfortunately, playing at home has given the hosts little shelter overall this term. They’ve won just two out of 13 at Schuco Arena, which means that they’re in the unenviable position of owning the worst home record in the league. However, in recent weeks, it is at home where they’ve carried out all of their best work, avoiding defeat in six of their last seven in front of a home crowd.

For Stuttgart, who are also involved in a relegation fight, things have improved of late. After they came from behind to get the job done against Monchengladbach, they pounced late on to secure a point from their trip to Berlin, while they picked up all three points for the second home game running last time out, beating Augsburg by three goals to two.

If this game was at Mercedes-Benz Arena, then Stuttgart would surely fancy themselves, though on the road, they may be less confident. Saturday’s visitors are without a win in six on the road, four of which they’ve lost, while they’ve only won once away from home all season. Such a record is hardly likely to strike fear into the hearts of the home team.

Safe Bet

If playing it a little safer is your sort of thing, then take the hosts with a one goal head start (+1 handicap). They’ve avoided defeat in five out five at home against teams currently lower than 10th in the Bundesliga table. Moreover, Stuttgart have beaten just one bottom-half team away from home this term.

Arminia Bielefeld vs Stuttgart Team News

The hosts have a clean bill of health besides the injury to Jacob Laursen, who is unlikely to feature. Silas Katompa is still sidelined for Stuttgart, as is Nikolas Nartey.

Starting Line-ups

Arminia Bielefeld: Ortega, Brunner, Pieper, Andrade, Bello, Schopf, Vasiliadis, Hack, Okugawa, Wimmer, Lasme.

Stuttgart: Muller, Sosa, Anton, Mavropanos, Stenzel, Endo, Karazor, Fuhrich, Tiago, Kalajdzic, Marmoush.

Highlighted Player

Patrick Wimmer

Central to Arminia’s attacking play, Patrick Wimmer can make the difference on Saturday. The Austrian has chipped in with three goals this season, but it’s his creativity that has really caught the eye, providing six assists, averaging a healthy 0.37 combined expected goals and assists per 90 minutes.
