Arminia Bielefeld vs Bochum Prediction & Betting tips
After the first half of the season, I cannot say: “Let’s see how it goes and what emerges in the end.” With this statement, Fabian Klos, captain of Arminia Bielefeld, makes clear in an interview during the winter break that he and his team is clearly aiming for promotion to the Bundesliga.
The captain is known for his self-confident approach and there is no understatement on the mountain pasture. After the strong performances in the first half of the season, there is no reason for that. The team of coach Uwe Neuhaus has all the cards in hand and wants to make a successful start to the back series on Tuesday.
At the start, the Arminen meet VfL Bochum, who defeated them a spectacular 3: 3 in the first leg. This time between Bielefeld and Bochum the odds for the tip on the winner are clearly distributed and the bookmakers rate the home team as a clear favorite.
It will be seen on Tuesday evening at 17:30 p.m. whether the front runner on the mountain pasture can overcome his small weakness at home and make the first three in the calendar year 2020. Then the encounter is kicked off.
Bielefeld:
Arminia Bielefeld played an outstanding first half of the season. This becomes clear when you look at the table. The front-runner has earned the very good starting position, especially thanks to the outstanding away record. Abroad, Uwe Neuhaus’ team scored 23 out of a possible 30 points, while the engine at home on the mountain pasture sometimes stutters a little.
So there is still room for improvement in the second half of the season and the team wants to work on it on Tuesday. The second reason for the euphoria in East Westphalia is Captain Fabian Klos. He progresses, convinced the entire series with outstanding performance and also shines as a goal scorer. With 13 hits, he currently tops the list of the best shooters in League 2.
His striker partner Andreas Voglsammer complements him excellently and the Austrian has already scored nine times and prepared five goals. During the winter break, the club had the luxury problem of being able to look for new additions for the future. The current squad actually does not need any reinforcements and works perfectly.
With Sinner, a goalkeeper was brought in, who was initially traded as a possible replacement for regular goalkeeper Ortega. The keeper was heavily courted by Bundesliga club Bayer 04 Leverkusen, but has decided to extend his existing contract with Arminia until 2022. With the Cologne talent Sebastian Müller, an investment in the future has already been made.
The results of the test games give encouragement that the team is ready for the second half of the season. In addition to a 0-0 draw against the Hungarian club from Budapest, there was also a 4: 3 win against FC St. Pauli. Shortly before Christmas, Bielefeld lost the last competitive game 0: 3 at the Millerntor to Hamburg.
Now the hosts want to get back on the road to success and between Bielefeld in Bochum it can be predicted that a home win is most likely if the home side can build on the performance from the first half of the season.
Bochum:
The previous season at VfL Bochum was a real roller coaster ride. As always, the club started with high expectations, but could not meet them. The change of coach from Robin Dutt to Thomas Reis was only logical and the team has at least stabilized under the new coach.
Especially at home things went much better towards the end of the rear series and the blue and whites were able to spend the winter in a non-relegation zone. Only one point separates the troop from the Ruhr from Relegation Place 16 in the table. You can say what you want from VfL, but the fans will be entertained very well.
No other team scored as many goals as the Bochum team. 32 goals are the third best offensive in the league, but 34 goals after Wehen Wiesbaden (35) are also the second worst defense. It is therefore clear what was worked on during the winter break. With Patrick Fabian, a real mentality player may give his comebach at the start of the second half of the season.
In central defense, there is a hot four-way battle for the regular places. The club struck on the transfer market for the offensive and brought in Robert Zulj, a player with Bundesliga experience. Sports director Schindzielorz also assured that striker star Ganvoula will definitely stay with VfL this season.
The course is set for a successful reverse series. The dress rehearsal against third division Uerdingen was also successful and Bochum won 2-0 in the last friendly. Now it really starts on Tuesday and the first big challenge is imminent.
Bochum wants to finally improve the black away series for the front-runner Bielefeld, this forecast is clear. With only one win in Heidenheim so far, VfL is one of the worst teams abroad.
