Arminia Bielefeld

Arminia Bielefeld’s unbeaten run of three games ended last week with their 2-0 defeat to Kaiserslautern. It was a bad defeat that piled on pressure ahead of this massive game.

Now the only option is to beat Hertha Berlin, but the tricky part is that even a win may not be enough for safety. They are third from the bottom before this round and are likely to play relegation playoffs, but there are many combinations before this game.

Still, Arminia Bielefeld was solid in recent weeks, and I believe they can overcome the Berliners.

At home, Arminia Bielefeld is unbeaten in four straight matches, with three of those being draws.

Hertha Berlin

Hertha Berlin is a bit out of sorts, despite sitting 6th. They were winless in 4 games (3 defeats), before finally winning 2-1 against Greuther Furth. Still, that win was not easy, and they were not particularly dominant.

One big thing in favour of Hertha Berlin is that they are finishing this 2.Bundesliga season as the second-best away team. They won 3 of the last 5 on the road but lost their most recent away match 1-0 to Magdeburg.

The Betting Verdict

A high-stakes match for Arminia Bielefeld, where they need a win and help from elsewhere to reach safety.

Despite their last week’s defeat, Arminia Bielefeld showed fighting spirit in recent matches, remaining unbeaten in 3 of their last 4.

It may be a closer game than expected, but I think Arminia Bielefeld will sneak a narrow win.

The Pick :

Arminia Bielefeld 1-0 Hertha Berlin
