Arminia Bielefeld vs Stuttgart Prediction & Betting tips
Finally away again – this could be the motto of the 17th Bundesliga matchday from the perspective of VfB Stuttgart. Because the Swabians could not win at home again at the weekend, where they are still without a win. Against Borussia Mönchengladbach they saved at least one point in the last second.
It looks completely different in a foreign country, here the newcomer gets along much better. On Wednesday evening, VfB, who are strong away from home, will go to fellow promoted Arminia Bielefeld.
Bielefeld :
Four points from the last two games: Arminia Bielefeld has equalized the best “series” this season. Already at the start of the season they remained unbeaten on the first two match days, scoring four points from their two opening games against Frankfurt and Cologne.
Arminia has now also achieved this against Hertha BSC (1-0) and TSG Hoffenheim (0-0). An encouragement after many disappointing weeks without winning points. On Wednesday, the newcomer from East Westphalia not only hopes to have three games in a row for the first time without defeat, but in the ideal case even to get the next three, it would be the second in a row in their own stadium.
For Arminia, a victory would also be a big point, because the two relegation competitors 1. FC Köln and Schalke 04 are tying points from each other in a direct duel on matchday 17.
In order to achieve the targeted second home win in a row, Bielefeld has to work on its danger in front of the opponent’s goal. No team in the Bundesliga has scored fewer goals both in total (ten goals) and at home (six goals).
At least the defensive stability has been noticeably improved in the last few games: East Westphalia recently conceded two games without conceding a goal, and Bielefeld only conceded two goals in the last five games.
VfB Stuttgart :
Keeping the zero against VfB will be a challenge, because: Stuttgart is not only the strongest away team in the league (17 points from eight games, 5S / 2U / 1N), but also the most dangerous (21 goals).
No team has scored more hits or scored more points or wins abroad. Only at the 0: 1 in Wolfsburg shortly before Christmas did you stay in a guest game without a point and without your own goal. In the last away game in Augsburg there was once again an impressive 4: 1, in which Stuttgart above all was able to show its irresistible switch game.
An important attacker from VfB will not be part of the game in Bielefeld: We are talking about Nicolas Gonzalez. The Argentine saw his fifth yellow card in the 2-2 draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach and will therefore be banned from the Bielefelder Alm.
In his place, Sasa Kalajdzic will most likely appear in the front line. Otherwise, coach Pellegrino Matarazzo should trust the same starting eleven from the Gladbach game.
But could VfB without Gonzalez at the guest appearance in East Westphalia be less aggressive and punchy? Kalajdzic is a different type of striker, quick switching is not possible with him. The 2-meter man is the clear target player. In principle, nothing should change in the strength of the attack, but rather in the way in which the attack is presented.
