Greuther Furth vs Arminia Bielefeld Match Preview

Greuther Furth are ranked at the 5th place of 2.Bundesliga with 31 points and come after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. They are seven points behind the third spot which gives a ticket for the promotion playoffs and now that they face a direct rival like Arminia Bielefeld they will need to give it all, in order to come out with a positive result.

In front of their fans, Greuther Furth have been quite decent this season, winning six out of ten games and scoring 15 goals. They managed to find the back of the net at least once in seven out of ten games at home. Also in their last five home games against Arminia Bielefeld, they managed to score at least once on four occasions.

Arminia Bielefeld, on the other hand, are ranked at the 1st place with 41 points. They come after two wins two draws and a loss in the last five matches and now risk to lose ranks to Hamburger SV or Stuttgart if they keep being so inconsistent. In their last game, they won 6-0 over Regensburg, showing a strong signal that they are still here aiming to secure their direct promotion to BundesLiga.

I expect a motivated team on the pitch and on the road so far they have been the team with the best performance with seven wins out of 11 games and collecting 24 points out of 33 possible. Scoring 23 goals over 11 games make them the best offensive side while away from home.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score a goal here. Greuther Furth plays a very delicate game for their future this season, so they know they must try their chances to try and win as it is the only hope. Arminia Bielefeld has proven to be the best team so far and leads the table, so I expect them to score at least once here against a defense that has conceded 11 goals in 10 home games.
