Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Arminia Bielefeld and Mainz square off against each other at Schuco Arena in the Bundesliga round 10. Die Arminien aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund, with the team still eyeing their first win of the process. Defender Cedric Brunner remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team. You should know that Arminia Bielefeld suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in their penultimate home fixture.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Augsburg. Friday’s triumph gave Mainz a confidence boost, and given Arminia’s shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. As for the visiting team, Jerry St. Juste should be the only absentee. The defender has yet to recover from a shoulder injury.
