Football Results

Arminia is right in the middle with two points above Bochum, which is in the lower part with four points more than the relegation zone before this round, which means that they can be quite relieved. In the finish of the first part of the championship, Bochum had a series of six rounds without defeat, but they lost in the previous two games, while Arminia has not won for three rounds. In the first part of the season Arminia celebrated in Bielefeld with 2-0 against Bochum.

VfL Bochum

Bochum is in the bottom part of the table since the start of the season and it did not help them a lot that they had a good series of six games without defeat, because they played four draws in that series. They made two triumphs at the beginning of December, but then two defeats, one at the end of the first part of the championship, and the other last weekend when they continued their competition in 2.Bundesliga.

They lost to St.Pauli with 2-1, although they did not play badly in this duel, however, they only scored a goal when they had already received two, and then Losilla got a red card towards the end, so they welcomed Duisburg in the last round without this center-back. He was not the only one absent because coach Rasiejewski made several more changes, which did not bring him anything, since they lost to Duisburg with 2-0. In the winter break, they have brought Ochs from Hoffenheim, but he played very badly in the last round and they also lost Bastians and Diamantakos during the break.

Probable lineups VfL Bochum: Dornebusch – Gyamerah, Losilla, Hoogland, Hemmerich – Janelt, Celozzi, Ochs, Stoger – Sam, R.Kruse

Arminia Bielefeld

Arminia plays good and bad in the series and they are currently in a bad series so they have not celebrated for three rounds, while they also had a longer series when they did not triumph for five rounds, while they for example at the beginning made three wins. All in all, it is enough for placement right in the middle of the table just before this round. They have somewhat better performance as guests, although all together they have seven wins and defeats. They did not change their team during the winter break, but they did not also repair their form, since they after the first two defeats for the end of the first half, opened the second part of the championship with a home draw with Furth, without goals.

They have little consolation in the fact that they have absolutely dominated in this match and created a large number of opportunities, however, the opposing goalkeeper has taken the epithet of the player of the game. Compared to the team who had lost to Regensburg late last year, coach Seibene has made three changes. Now there will be at least one, because defensive midfielder Prietl has no right to play because of yellow cards and it is possible that he will be replaced by Nothe.

Probable lineups Arminia Bielefeld: Ortega – Dick, Behrendt, Borner, Hartherz – Schutz, Nothe – Weihrauch, Kerschbaumer – Voglsammer, Klos

Verdict:

Both teams are in a pretty bad shape and in this round are looking for a way to get out of the crisis. Bochum plays solid on their field, but Arminia is good as guest, so the match could be uncertain and both networks could shake.

Pick:  both teams to score 1.67 - 67/100 @1XBet
