THE PREDICTION

Arminia Bielefeld finished 10 points ahead of Stuttgart at the top of Bundesliga 2 last season but it is the Swabians who have fared better on their return to the top flight. They have particularly impressed on the road, where they have collected 17 of their 22 points, putting them top of the away table. Bielefeld, on the other hand, have picked up nine of their 14 at home. Uwe Neuhaus’ men are a tough side to break down without scoring many goals themselves, as shown by the fact that 10 of their 16 league games - including each of the last six - have produced under 2.5 goals, while four of the last five have finished 1-0. With the visitors missing their two highest scorers through suspension, this could well be another low-scoring affair where one goal is enough to win it.
