Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Schalke
Arminia Bielefeld will be looking to pick up vital three points in their relegation battle when they take on rock-bottom Schalke at their Schuco Arena. Arminia are only one point clear of the relegation zone, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at die Knappen. Both Cordova and Yabo have been tested positive for coronavirus, and, as a result, the duo is unlikely to feature against Schalke.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, are having a season to forget, with the team collecting only 13 points to date. The rock-bottom side experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Freiburg, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Arminia’s party at Schuco Arena. In the first half of the season Arminia Bielefeld defeated Schalke 04 thanks to Fabian Klos’ goal.
