Arminia Bielfeld Preview – Can Arminia find the points to put them within touching distance of the Bundesliga?
They may well be top and five points clear with a game in hand, but Arminia drew their fifth game in six attempts when being held away to Sandhausen on Friday. Five of those matches have come since football returned in Germany, with their only success a 2-1 win at Holstein Kiel. Despite taking just eight points from a possible 18, a win on Monday would see them go eight points clear with just three matches left.
The motivation for the leaders is obvious and they will want to ensure they avoid any end of season dramas. Their home form in general is very good, as well, with only one defeat in 14 games so far. Incidentally, three of Arminia’s last four games are at home.
Dynamo Dresden Preview – Can Dresden begin their very own great escape and case a huge upset?
Whilst it’s all positive and close to celebrations for Arminia, it’s the complete opposite for Dresden. A disaster of a season looks likely to end in relegation following another defeat last time out. A narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Hamburg on Friday means they are still five points off safety. If they can get something from this game then it would provide some hope. But it’s a big ask.
That was a third defeat in five games and a fourth in their last six at home. Its form you would associate with a team struggling at the bottom. The challenge – in their four remaining games – is to find some winning form. That’s easier said than done for a team who have struggled most of the campaign.

It’s easy to identify where Dresden have to do better. Their tally of 29 goals scored is the lowest in the league. The second worst attack have eight more goals. Having also conceded the third most amount of goals then it’s obvious to see why they are where they are.
On an individual level, their top scorer is on Patrick Schmidt who has just five. The striker came in from Heidenheim in January on loan and they will be thinking what could have been had he arrived earlier.
Arminia Bielefeld vs Dynamo Dresden Betting Advice
Although the home team are overwhelming favourites here they’re hardly in the best of form. Their promotion looks inevitable now following the weekend results but they will want to earn it as early as possible and in style.
It was a narrow 1-0 win for Arminia when the sides met in Dresden at the end of October and it could well be another tight contest on Monday. Despite the places between the teams, Dresden are usually competitive. Only two of their last 11 games have seen them beaten by more than one goal. Arminia have also scored just one goal in each of their last four at home.
Key Facts – Arminia Bilefeld vs Dynamo Dresden Betting Tip
-
- Bielefeld are on the brink of promotion and he title but have drawn five of their last six
- Friday’s defeat has left Dresden on the cusp of relegation to Germany’s third tier
- Five of Arminia’s last six home games have finished with two or less goals scored
Taking recent form into consideration and the pressure that both teams will be under for a result, I can see this being another low-scoring affair. Five of Arminia’s last six home games have went under 2.5 goals and that’s the selection on Monday.
