THE PREDICTION

Whilst it failed to yield any points, Arminia Bielefeld put in an admirable defensive rearguard away at Bayern Munich last weekend, holding out until the 71^st minute and only losing by a single goal to nil. Their backline will need to be on top form again here as they face a Koln side on the back of a resounding 4-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach. The visitors will no doubt be eying up three points against a relegation struggling side, but this Arminia defensive unit is made of strong stuff and won’t cave in easily. This may result in a frustrating afternoon for Koln, who will also need to be on their guard against the counter attack. The likelihood is that this one won’t prove the most entertaining of affairs and backing under 2.5 goals scored looks to be the smart play.
