Bochum vs Arminia Bielefeld Predictions

• Bochum come into this game on the back of a stunning 4-3 win over Dortmund.
• Arminia Bielefeld will be mathematically consigned to a bottom-three finish with anything less than victory.
• Bielefeld are winless in each of their last nine Bundesliga games.
• Bielefeld trailed at both HT/FT in their last six away league games.

Bochum can end their home campaign on a high

It has been a successful first season back in the top-flight for Bochum as their safety is already assured with games to spare. Although they have nothing to play for, Bochum have proven their intentions of a strong finish with a stunning victory over second-placed Dortmund last time out.

That game ended a three-game run without scoring for Bochum, as their manager Thomas Reis hailed the season as a miracle following that four-goal haul.

Now their attention turns to ending a three-game run of scoreless home games, which shouldn’t be a mammoth task against one of the league’s worst defences.

Win or bust for Bielefeld

With just two games to go, Bielefeld must win in order to keep any slim hopes of finishing outside of the bottom three alive at least for a day. However, even with defeat, they could yet aim for the play-off position on the final day if Stuttgart fail to get a result this weekend.

While they need to win, that is easier said than done for a side with no wins across their last nine league games and six consecutive away defeats at both HT/FT ahead of this clash.

We predict that Bochum will pile further misery upon Bielefeld despite having nothing but pride to play for and at a value price to boot. As for the correct score, we are siding with a hard-fought 2-1 home win.
