Schalke vs Arminia Bielefeld Prediction & Betting tips
FC Schalke 04 has already been waiting for a victory for 28 league matches. On Saturday, the team from Gelsenkirchen will face Arminia Bielefeld, also a low flyer in the Bundesliga. Will Schalke finally be victorious?
Schalke 04:
At FC Schalke 04 it is never really quiet. This season there was the resignation of coach David Wagner after the second day of play. Manuel Baum took over the business at Die Königsblauen, but on Friday morning he was also told to leave. Baum was unable to achieve success in the Bundesliga. Only the cup match against the small 1. FC Schweinfurt resulted in a victory (1-4). None other than good old Huub Stevens will take over command for the remaining two games of 2020.
Stevens is of course a big name from the club’s past. Under his leadership the greatest success in the history of the association was celebrated in the 1996/1997 season; the victory of the UEFA Cup. Afterwards, Stevens held various positions at Schalke over several periods. What he wants to do with the line-up is obviously a matter of waiting, but Stevens is a coach who wants to get things right defensively first. Offensively, the options are also somewhat limited, as strikers Mark Uth and Gonzalo Paciencia are both missing.
Arminia Bielefeld:
It has been a difficult season so far for DSC Arminia Bielefeld. The PhD student did not strengthen himself very convincingly in the summer break, so the role that the team currently plays in the Bundesliga is not very surprising. Briefly; Bielefeld is struggling. Scoring power is not abundant in the selection, and if the defense is not completely watertight, it will of course be quite a job to achieve good results. After twelve duels, the counter for Die Arminen is at seven points.
That was almost eight after the midweek round. In last Wednesday’s home game against FC Augsburg, not much happened on both sides. The match seemed to be heading for a 0-0, but just before time, Augsburg managed to score (0-1). Again Arminia was left empty-handed. One of the few positive points in the team of trainer Uwe Neuhaus is PSV mercenary Ritsu Doan. If Bielefeld manages to create danger, then the Japanese attacking midfielder always plays an important role in it.
