Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Arminia Bielefeld and Bayer Leverkusen square off against each other at Schuco Arena in the Bundesliga round 7. Die Arminien have drawn each of their previous three home games, with the team playing some low-scoring games of late. Since Frank Kramer’s troops struggle in front of goal, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. All Fabian Klos, Cedric Brunner, Lennart Czyborra, and Sebastian Vasiliadis are sidelined with injuries, while Cedric Brunner is a major doubt.
The BayArena outfit, on the other hand, are eyeing their third consecutive league win, and given their attacking potential, we are tempted to put our money on the visiting team. Midfielde Robert Andrich is sidelined through suspension, but Swiss tactician Gerardo Seoane can count on key players for the Schuco Arena showdown. In their last meeting at the venue Bayer Leverkusen defeated Arminia Bielefeld 2-1.
