Sandhausen vs Arminia Bielefeld Predictions

• Sandhausen are unbeaten in six of their last eight home league games.
• Arminia Bielefeld failed to win five of the last six H2H meetings.
• Arminia Bielefeld have lost each of their last seven away league games.

Survival starts here for Sandhausen

After finishing in the bottom-half last season, Sandhausen will be looking to get their campaign off to a better start to avoid a repeat of that relegation battle.

The hosts have made a number of attacking signings during the off season in search of more goals, with former Sparta Prague forward Matej Pulkrab amongst the incomings.

While the value of friendlies is questionable, a positive unbeaten pre season schedule will inspire confidence amongst the Sandhausen ranks, especially after holding top-flight opponents Augsburg to a draw in their final friendly.

Can Bielefeld bounce back?

After suffering a demoralising relegation, Arminia Bielefeld have arguably had a poor off season, losing star man Patrick Wimmer to Wolfsburg and their shot stopper Ortega to Manchester City. It remains to be seen whether the replacements can plug those gaps, but only time will tell.

We predict that this will be an edgy game with Sandhausen holding out for at least a draw, which we are covering with a 1-1 prediction in the correct score market.
