Prediction: 3-0
Tip: Result- Borussia Dortmund |Fabian Kunze to be booked anytime
Key Points:
1. Borussia Dortmund is unbeaten in the last three Bundesliga games.
2. Arminia Bielefeld is yet to win a Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund.
3. With seven yellow cards, Arminia Bielefeld’s Fabian Kunze is third most booked player in this season’s Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund will be resuming Bundesliga action after a two-week-long break with a home game against Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday. With Bayern gaining a sizeable lead at the top of the points table, it is crucial for Dortmund to win on Sunday to have an outside chance in the title race.
Meanwhile, Arminia Bielefeld has been dragged into the relegation battle due to their poor results in the past few matchdays. They are yet to drop down in the relegation zone, but a couple of defeats will definitely spell trouble for them.
Dortmund endured a disappointing result two weeks ago as they dropped two points away at Augsburg. After getting knocked out from Europa League against Rangers, Dortmund has only Bundesliga to concentrate on in the final two months of the season. They were also eliminated from DFB Pokal by St. Pauli in January.
Marco Rose’s team is currently second in the points table, nine points behind league leaders Bayern Munich. Dortmund has not mathematically qualified for the next season’s Champions League, so it is crucial to end the season strongly. Winning the remaining ten league games will make sure that Dortmund will be in a good position to capitalise if Bayern slips in their games.
Arminia Bielefeld is currently 15th in the league table, two points above the relegation zone. The relegation battle is set to go down the wire, so every victory is pivotal for Arminia Bielefeld. They will be travelling to Dortmund on the back of two consecutive defeats against Bayer Leverkusen and Augsburg.
Considering the recent form of both teams, Dortmund is a firm favourite to take all three points against Arminia Bielefeld. We are backing Dortmund to deliver an emphatic performance at Signal Iduna Park to take a big step in cementing the second position in the Bundesliga.
