Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Arminia Bielefeld take on Hoffenheim at their Schuco Arena in their last home game of the season. Die Arminen are eager to escape the relegation zone, and seeing that the visitors head into Saturday’s football game with the lack of motivation, home win should be considered. Head coach Frank Kramer has no fresh injury worries, but Masaya Okugawa remains in the recovery room.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, came from behind to beat rock-bottom Schalke in their last league match, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Arminia, who are fighting hard to avoid relegation. Sebastian Hoeness’ troops are not regarded as good travellers, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on the relegation strugglers. All Nordtveit, Richards, Stafylidis, Geiger, Bicakcic, and Hubner are likely to miss the game through injuries for the visiting team.
