Arminia Bielefeld vs. Bayer Leverkusen 10/3/21 Bundesliga Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Arminia Bielefeld is welcoming Bayer Leverkusen to Schuco-Arena in round 7 of the German Bundesliga. Arminia is still without a win so far this season, and they have scored only 3 goals in 6 games. Leverkusen is playing great, and they are now on a 4-game winning streak.

Arminia is second to last in the standings, their offense is basically non-existent, While their defense was decent with 6 conceded goals. Arminia has 2 losses in their last 3 games, and their latest loss was against Union Berlin on the road. Arminia has had 46% of ball possession in that game, 2 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 73% of the correct passes. Arminia was hanging by the thread in this game, and their defense has given their all, but in the 88^th minute, Arminia has conceded a goal, and they ended up losing this game 1-0. Vasiliadis and Fernandes are both injured, and they will miss this game for Arminia. First things first, Arminia must get their offense going, at least a little bit more, but their defense must stay where it is, and only then will Arminia have a chance at staying in Bundesliga.

To me, Leverkusen is doing surprisingly well, but getting the right coach matters, and that is exactly what Leverkusen did. In their last 4 games, Leverkusen has 4 wins, and they have scored 10 goals while conceding only 2 goals. Leverkusen was also able to keep 2 clean sheets in a row. With 13 points, Leverkusen is now in 4^th place, but they could jump to 2^nd with a win in this game. In their last game against Celtic in the Europa League, Leverkusen has had 45% of ball possession, 11 shots on goal, 4 corner kicks, 6 big chances created, and 83% of the correct passes. Bayer Leverkusen has had fun in this game, and they ended up scoring 2 goals in each half, which was enough for a 0-4 win. As far as Bundesliga goes, Wirtz and Schick have each scored 4 goals for Leverkusen so far, while Diaby added 3 goals. Wirtz has also added 3 assists. Andrich is suspended because of the red card, while a few other players are injured. Leverkusen had a great start last season as well, but then they started falling behind, and I really hope that won’t happen to them this season.

Leverkusen hasn’t lost any of their last 5 games on the road, while Arminia hasn’t won any of their last 6 games. Normally, I would give Arminia a look here because Leverkusen has had a midweek game, but not in their current form. Leverkusen is the play here.
