On Saturday afternoon, Arminia Bielefeld hosts RB Leipzig at the SchucoArena, in what will be a massive final day game for the fight for Bundesliga survival and the race for a top-four spot.
Arminia Bielefeld
Arminia’s recent form has been woeful, to say the least, as the home team heads into this game on the back of a ten-game winless run in the German top-flight, having suffered eight defeats in the process.
Although Bielefeld has suffered problems at both ends of the field this season, they have been particularly poor in defence of late, as they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches in the Bundesliga.
That poor recent run means that they go into the final matchday in 17th place in the Bundesliga, three points behind 16th place Stuttgart, who also have a superior goal difference of seven goals. It would take a relatively big swing in goal difference for the home team to beat the drop.
A poor home record has not helped their survival chances either, as they have won just one of their last seven home games in the German top-flight.
RB Leipzig
Die Roten Bullen head into this game needing just a draw to qualify for the Champions League next season. They are two points clear of fifth-place Koln but have a vastly superior goal difference to the Billy Goats.
Domenico Tedesco’s team recovered from two straight league defeats by hammering Augsburg 4-0 last time out.
French international Christopher Nkunku continued his prolific scoring campaign by scoring a brace in the win over Augsburg. The former PSG star has scored an impressive 20 goals in 33 Bundesliga appearances this season.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that RB Leipzig will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to book their place in the Champions League for next season while consigning Arminia Bielefeld to life in the German second tier.
