Arminia Bielefeld vs Holstein Kiel Prediction & Betting tips
In this article, we look at two teams that were already allowed to compete in the DFB Cup this week. However, both the Bielefelder and the Kiel had to bury their cup dreams. While the DSC had to bow to FC Schalke 04 in an exciting final phase, the Kielers disappointed at the fourth division off Verl.
Now it’s time to get their heads back and focus on the league. Meanwhile, interim coach Ole Werner has received a contract from the guests and will continue to lead the fortunes of the North Germans. Will he and his team manage the surprise on the alp?
In the league, the hosts are much better off the starting blocks than the Kiel and have nestled in the top flight. The storks, however, have put the first games in the sand and only now, under the new coach Ole Werner, to get started. Can you stop the soaring Arminia and stalk yourself in the table to the top spots?
We can definitely look forward to a duel between two strong form teams. Read in the analysis of the betting base, if we can expect a football festival. The kick-off in the Schüco Arena takes place on Sunday at 12:30.
Bielefeld:
What a Pokalkrimi on Tuesday evening! After a grotesquely bad first half of the DSC was already with 0: 3 against FC Schalke 04 in arrears and due to the performance was certainly no one more chanterelle on the Arminia.
But with two goals in the last twenty minutes, the Bielefeld rang in a final offensive, which had it all. Only with much luck could the miners save the 3-2 on time and reach the next round in the DFB Cup.
Now it is time for the team of head coach Uwe Neuhaus to switch back to league mode and not let the heads hang too long. The starting position that the East Westphalians have developed in the league must be defended or expanded.
With the storks from Kiel, however, the Bielefelder expect a form-strong opponent, who has come in better shape in recent games. No easy task for the DSC, who had his problems in the previous home games anyway.
Of the past eleven games the Neuhaus-Elf could win their six. But only one of them in the local Schüco Arena. In addition, four draws were fetched and only the duel with VfB Stuttgart was lost. With the so achieved 22 points, the Ostwestfalen are in second place and are a hot candidate for promotion to the Bundesliga, which also confirmed the Schalke coach David Wagner this week.
However, the DSC has only six of his counters in his own stadium. Only the game against Erzgebirge Aue was won. Three draws were enough and one game was lost. This makes the Arminia the fourth worst home team in the second league. If it is to work with the ascent, this balance sheet urgently needs to be improved.
With the second home win after all, the jump to the top of the table would be possible if the HSV would falter. We meet in the game Bielefeld vs Kiel the prognosis that we can look forward to some hits in this game.
The strength of Arminia is clearly on the offensive. With 22 goals scored, the DSC is the second most successful team in the league. Only the hamburgers are even more accurate with 28 goals. With captain Fabian Klos (seven goals) and Andreas Voglsammer (six goals), two players are at the very top of the scoring list.
Missing will be Manuel Prietl on Sunday, who has to serve a 5 th yellow card suspension, and Brian Behrendt and Nils Quaschner, who are still in the build-up after their serious injuries.
Kiel:
The start of the season Kiel was more than disappointing. After six matchdays, the storks with only five points on the account in 16th place in the table. A situation in which those responsible responded and exempted chief trainer Andre Schubert from his duties. Transitional, the team should be led by Ole Werner until a corresponding successor is found.
But the successes under the interim coach convinced the sports director, so that Werner should continue to steer the fortunes of the North Germans. Under his direction, at least three games could be won from five games. With a total of fourteen collected counters Holstein is currently in tenth place in the table and has gotten rid of the worst relegation worries.
The advantage over Bochum on the relegation place is now already five points, so that the gaze may slowly be directed to the upper half of the table. With a victory in the top team from Bielefeld Kiel would shorten the gap to the top group further and thus stalking to the promotion places.
The balance on the opponent’s place was neatly improved in the last few games. Both the game in Fürth (3: 0) and the duel in the Stuttgart Mercedes-Benz Arena (1: 0) could be won. Of course, this series will be further expanded in East Westphalia.
Are the storks really so clear outsiders that this high quota is justified? Both teams have a tough cup game in their legs and it remains to be seen who can better handle this strain.
The game in the sixteenth finals was of course a big disappointment for the Werner-Elf. In the fourth division of Verl storks were the favorites, but had to cut the sails after a largely disappointing performance in this competition.
Now, it’s about rehabilitating in the championship and possibly taking a threesome to the north. To this end, further hits from Jae-sung Lee (six goals) and Makana Baku (four goals) are needed, who have been able to overcome the opposing goalkeepers most often in ranks of Kiel.
Absence will be on Sunday due to injury Jannik Dehm (tibia fracture), Aleksandar Ignjovski (hamstring) and David Atanga (ligament strain). Behind the use of Janni Serra (concussion) is a big question mark. That he is there is unlikely.
