Arminia Bielefeld vs Jahn Regensburg Predictions

• Ten of the 12 all-time league H2H encounters produced over 2.5 goals.
• Bielefeld have never lost a home H2H encounter.
• Regensburg have not won any of their last eight competitive away games.

Bielefeld can notch their first win

It was a disappointing start to life back in the second-tier for Arminia Bielefeld as they had a man sent off with almost a full half left to play in their opening day defeat to Sandhausen. However, the hosts will be hoping to record a reversal in their opening home game as they welcome potential relegation candidates Regensburg.

This opposition represents a side that have never won away to Arminia (W3, D3), and the two games under current boss Mersad Selimbegovic ended with a demoralising combined scoreline of 9-1 to Bielefeld, suggesting that this could indeed be a long afternoon.

Regensburg prefer their home comforts

In stark contrast to their hosts, Regensburg were benefitted by an opposition red card on the opening day as they recorded a shock win against Darmstadt. Should both sides retain their XIs here though, the visitors will likely find it hard to record a win after a run of eight consecutive away games without victory.

A mere 24% win-rate in away league games last season hardly inspires confidence amongst would be outsider backers here and as such, we are sticking with the favourites to come out on top in this 2.Bundesliga encounter.

As for the correct score, we are settling for a comfortable 2-1 win for the hosts.
