MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
From relegation candidates
to promotion hopefuls – Bielefeld’s season has been an absolute success so far
as they sit in fourth place with 17 points and a +2 goal difference. They are
unbeaten in their last three games scoring five goals and beat fellow promotion
contenders Nurnberg 2-1 away from home last time out. One key reason for their
success so far could be down to the fact that they have a very balanced team
which Jeff Saibene leads very well.
Dusseldorf claimed an
impressive 3-1 win in their derby at home against Duisburg before the
international break. It was a game that they dominated throughout and they were
3-0 up until conceding a goal in 57th minute. The club remain at the
top of the 2. Bundesliga and boast a goal difference with +8. They have scored
at least one goal in all of their 2. Bundesliga matches this season and Rouwen
Hennings has found his scoring touch as he scored his third and four goal in
the last two games.
Dusseldorf knocked
Bielefeld out of the cup in August and Bielefeld will be ready to take revenge.
I’ll back a home win here.
SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE – BIELEFELD
Bielefeld have score first
in two of the last three home fixtures against Dusseldorf. They have also
opened the scoring in eight of their last nine league matches. I would not be
surprised if this trend continues here.
HEAD TO HEAD
Bielefeld lost to
Dusseldorf in the cup in extra time in August, but they claimed a 2-1 win at
home when the teams last met in the league in April.
