MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Dynamo have been struggling recently, although they have won their last league outing against Duisburg 3-1 before the winter-break. Dresden Before that, they have lost two in a row and draw one. Prior to those bad results, Maik Walpurgis men have to improve in the upcoming weeks if they want to climb up in the table – sitting only on 10^thposition with 25 points to their name.

Bielefeld’s woes on home soil continued before the break as Uwe Neuhaus side were beaten 2-1 from Heidenheim. The Arminia have won one, drawn three and lost seven of their last eleven league fixtures. However, away from home they are unbeaten in three and have collected more points on the road as on home ground. Despite their bad run of late, they are still five points above the drop zone in 14^thplace at present.

Dresden have won two of their last three league matches at the DDV-Arena. Dynamo should see off a very disappointing Bielefeld side, so put some money on Dynamo to prevail.

SECOND PREDICTION: HALF TIME HAD - DRAW

Each of the last three league encounters between the two sides at DDV-Arena has been level at the break. I expect this to be the case again.

HEAD TO HEAD

Dresden have not one of their last three home league meetings with Arminia, losing two times and drawing once. Arminia won also the first league encounter this season 2-1.
