Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer will host Saturday’s football game between Greuther Furth and Arminia Bielefeld. The newcomers experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Stuttgart, meaning that they are low on spirits ahead of Matchday 2. Talented midfielder Jamie Leweling is pushing for a start after finding the net in the season opener, while Asta, Kratzer, and Ngankam are all likely to miss the game with injuries.
Die Arminien, on the other hand, kicked off the new Bundesliga campaign with a goalless draw with Freiburg. Arminia Bielefeld are not regarded as good travelers, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on draw. Masaya Okugawa suffered an injury on his Arminia Bielefeld debut, while Sebastian Vasiliadis remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem.
Highlighted Player (Mike van der Hoorn):
Mike van der Hoorn is a Dutch international who plays for Arminia Bielefeld as a centre-back. Van der Hoorn spent his youth career at the likes of Buitenboys, Omniworld and Utrecht, and he continued playing for the “Cathedral citizens” at senior level.

After spending four seasons at the Liberty Stadium, Mikel van der Hoorn joined Arminia Bielefeld in the summer of 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic.

Highlighted Team (Arminia Bielefeld):
Arminia Bielefeld is a German club founded on May 3, 1905. Die Arminen play home games at Bielefelder Alm. The venue was built in 1926, and it can hold up to 26,515 spectators. Arminia Bielefeld have yet to win the Bundesliga trophy, but they did well to lift the West German Cup title on two occasions (1966, 1974).
Back in 1922 they won the Western German football championship, with the team repeating the success the following year. Arminia Bielefeld wear dark blue shirts when playing at home ground, while white is the dominant colour of their away jersey. In the 2019/20 season Arminia returned to the Bundesliga, where they undisputedly belong.
Bruno Labbadia is considered one of the most famous footballers who played for the club. The ex Bayern Munchen attacker scored 50 goals in 98 appearances in the league for Arminia Bielefeld. Labbadia has two caps for the German national team, and six for the West Germany U21.
