MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: DRAW
New Greuther Furth boss Stefan Leitl has been producing positive results since taking over at Sportpark Ronhof in early February. The side have lost only one of their last five league outings (two wins, two draws) and won the Bavarian derby at Continental Arena against Regensburg 2-0 last time out. That win puts them in 13th place on 32 points, nine above the relegation zone.

Bielefeld, who sit three places above Greuther Furth, have only accumulated seven points from a possible 15 on offer in league action recently, but they did register a 3-1 home league win over struggling Bochum last time out. Uwe Neuhaus’ troops have not won on the road in the league since beating Jahn Regensburg 3-0 at the Continental Arena back in early February, drawing once and losing once since.

This promises to be a very close matchup and I fancy the pair to play out an entertaining draw.

SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE - BIELEFELD
Bielefeld have scored first in three of their last four league meetings with Greuther Furth, with the other league encounters ending scoreless. Put your money on the away side to open the scoring at Sportpark Ronhof.

HEAD TO HEAD
There have been two draws while both teams have also registered one win in their last four league meetings.
