Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Eintracht Frankfurt and Arminia Bielefeld face each other in the opening match of day 20 at Deutsche Bank Park. Die Adler played out a 1-1 draw with Augsburg at the weekend, with the team remaining in 8th place in the standings. Eintracht aim to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against die Arminien. The bad news for the hosts is that all Kevin Trapp, Filip Kostic, and Danny da Costa have been tested positive for coronavirus.
Arminia Bielefeld, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back draws with Freiburg and Greuther Furth. However, home win should be considered as over the years Eintracht have turned their stadium into a real fortress. Nathan de Medina misses out through illness, while experienced attacker Fabian Klos is back from suspension for the visiting side.
