Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Following a 2-0 loss to Hoffenheim, Arminia Bielefeld will look to escape the danger zone when they take on Union Berlin on Matchday 23. Die Arminien are eyeing their only second home win of the season, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Amos Pieper and Stefanos Kapino should miss out with injuries, while Manuel Prietl is a major doubt.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Augsburg and Borussia Dortmund. Arminia, though, want this win more than Union Berlin, and we predict that the relegation-threatened hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Robin Knoche is banned for the match, while all Jakob Busk, Dominique Heintz, Niko Giesselmann, Andreas Voglsammer, and Pawel Wszolek have been tested positive for coronavirus.
Highlighted Player (Sebastian Vasiliadis):
Sebastian Vasilidis is a professional footballer of Greek descent who plays for SC Paderborn in the Bundesliga. The 175-cm-tall midfielder spent his youth career at TSG Backnang and VfR Aalen and he continued playing for the OSTALB ARENA outfit at senior level. After scoring 7 goals in 60 appearances for VfR Allen in league matches, Vasilidis signed a two-year deal with SC Paderborn on July 1, 2018.
The talented midfielder, who was born in Auenwald, Germany on October 4, 1997 played 28 games for the club in the 2018/2019 2. Bundesliga campaign, scoring 6 goals in the process. Seeing that Paderborn secured promotion to the German top flight, Sebastian Vasilidis will have a chance to enjoy the top flight football in the 2018/2019 season.
His main position is central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as both attacking and defensive midfielder as well. Sebastian’s preferred foot is right and he has a dual citizenship (Germany, Greece).
Highlighted Team (Union Berlin):
Union Berlin are a German football club originally founded back in 1906. Die Eisernen play home games at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei which can hold up to 22,012 spectators. Union Berlin’s home kit is red, with the team wearing white shirts and white shorts on the travels.
Union Berlin finished the 1923 domestic campaign as runners-up, with the team suffering a 3-0 loss to Hamburger SV in the title game. Speaking of the club’s biggest success in the German Cup, die Eisernen made it to the final of the competition in the 2000/2001 season. Schalke, though, proved to be a big catch for Union Berlin in the decider, with Jorg Bohme scoring a brace for die Knappen (2-0).
Union Berlin will face their local rivals Hertha in the 2019/2020 Bundesliga season as they secured promotion to the German top flight, but Hansa Rostock are considered the club’s main rivals.
