Arminia Bielefeld – Demotion beckons on current form?

Presented with the dubious honour of getting Sunday’s Bundesliga action underway are Frank Kramer’s relegation-threatened side. Die Blauen (The Blues) survived by the skin of their teeth last time around as they narrowly avoided a relegation play-off berth, a position they now occupy heading into the first of five remaining fixtures. A crucial period they must approach on the back of a truly wretched sequence of results.

Last week’s chastening 4-0 loss away to Wolfsburg made it one point from their last six matches, having won only one of the last nine. Each of their previous five losses, meanwhile, saw them unable to trouble the scoring. Meaning no team has failed to find the net in more individual matches this Bundesliga campaign than the 12 of Kramer’s toothless men, who have scored just once in almost ten hours of football.

Key Stat: Bielefeld have lost their previous five Bundesliga away matches but only one of their last eight as hosts (W2 D5) – the sole blemish at Bielefelder Alm since October being the 1-0 reverse against FC Augsburg on 4 March.

Bayern Munich – Die Rotten could go big in Bielefeld?

Tuesday’s shock Champions League exit at the quarter-final stage, bowing out to Villarreal following a 1-1 draw on the night in Munich and 2-1 loss on aggregate, is obviously bad news for the German champions. It is also far from ideal for the five remaining teams still to face Julian Nagelmann’s crestfallen side. Their sole focus now on wrapping up the club’s tenth successive Bundesliga championship in style.

Not that there had been many signs of let up in recent weeks. Victory against Augsburg last time, however slender (1-0), marked a third straight win in the league. Continuing what is now their longest unbroken sequence without incurring a loss of 2021-22 (seven matches; W5 D2). Meanwhile the four scored in their latest away assignment (4-1 vs Freiburg) was the ninth occasion scoring 3+ away from home this term.

Key Stat: Bayern Munich have scored at least once in each of their last 72 Bundesliga games. They are the only team in the German top-flight to have scored in every league game this season, averaging in excess of three per game on the road (3.07).

Arminia Bielefeld Vs Bayern Munich Betting Advice

Neither history or the Bundesliga table casts a positive light on the chances of Arminia Bielefeld taking anything away from this contest. Facing a Bayern Munich still smarting from a Champions League exit. In fact, it would be a surprise if the hosts kept the scoreline respectable. Something they did actually manage in Munich earlier in the season, beaten only by Leroy Sane’s solitary strike midway through the second half.

 

Arminia Bielefeld Vs Bayern Munich – Key Facts:

  • Across the eight previous Bundesliga meetings between the clubs, Bayern Munich only failed to win once. Although that was in last season’s corresponding fixture: a 3-3 draw here in Bielefeld last February.
  • This fixture pits the teams with the most goals in the Bundesliga this season (Bayern Munich have scored 89 after 29 games) against the team with the fewest (Arminia Bielefeld scoring just 23).
  • Although Arminia Bielefeld seldom concede in large quantities as a Bundesliga host (just five of their 14 BL home games in 2021-22 saw them concede more than once), they are facing a Bayern Munich which has scored 3+ in nine of 14 BL away games this term.

 

Bayern were never likely to relinquish a nine-point lead in their pursuit of another league title, but without any distractions they can focus their energy on wrapping up a tenth successive championship in style. Julian Nagelsmann’s men are averaging three goals per game on their travels, and recently put four past a Freiburg outfit 11 places better off than Bielefeld, who have only failed to score in one of their last nine at home.
