Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Leipzig will be aiming to seal their spot in the Champions League when they take on Arminia Bielefeld on the last day of the season. The Red Bulls rolled over Augsburg 4-0 at the weekend, and, as a result, they are one point away from securing a top-four finish. A man to watch in the away side will be Christopher Nkunku, who scored a brace in the last league match, while both Josko Gvardiol and Amadou Haidara are sidelined with injuries.
Die Arminien, on the other hand, failed to secure the Bundesliga survival. Bielefeld are three points behind 16th-place Stuttgart, and given their poor score difference, we do not believe that the underdogs will grab something from Saturday’s clash. All Bryan Lasme, Cedric Brunner, and Fabian Klos are out of contention through injuries for the home side.

Sebastian Vasilidis is a professional footballer of Greek descent who plays for SC Paderborn in the Bundesliga.
