Week 7 brings us a match on Oct 3rd where Arminia Bielefeld will host Bayer Leverkusen at Schücoarena in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Bundesliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 9 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 16th placed Arminia Bielefeld is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Union Berlin. Kevin Behrens struck first for Union Berlin in the 88th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Arminia Bielefeld couldn’t muster any offence and Union Berlin ran away with the shutout win. Arminia Bielefeld looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10, while in their last match, Bayer Leverkusen recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Mainz 05. Florian Wirtz struck first for Bayer Leverkusen in the 62nd minute on a feed from Jeremie Frimpong, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Mainz 05 was frustrated by Bayer Leverkusen’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bayer Leverkusen ended the match with the shutout victory. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Bayer Leverkusen should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Wirtz has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, hes scored five goals for Bayer Leverkusen. Klos and Patrick Wimmer are the top scorers for Arminia Bielefeld in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
Frank Kramer’s Arminia Bielefeld squad will be without Edimilson Fernandes and Reinhold Yabo, while Edmond Tapsoba, Julian Baumgartlinger and Niklas Lomb are unavailable to play for Gerardo Seoane’s team.
