Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Arminia Bielefeld and Fortuna Dusseldorf square off against each other at Schuco Arena in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. Die Arminien did remarkably well to make it to the German Cup final last season where Bundesliga side Stuttgart proved to be a big catch for them. Bielefeld secured promotion to the 2. Bundesliga as well and, no doubt, they want to impress on their return to the German second tier.
A man to watch in the home team will be Julian Kania, who scored 14 goals in the 3. Liga last term. Die Fortunen, on the other hand, rolled over Alemannia Aachen 4-0 in their last friendly game, but as electrifying atmosphere is expected at Shuco Arena this weekend, we are tempted to bet on the newcomers. Summer signing Cedric Itten is widely expected to make his official Fortuna debut against Arminia.
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.
