Arminia Bielefeld is welcoming Borussia Dortmund to Schuco-Arena in round 9 of the German Bundesliga. Arminia is one of the weakest teams in Bundesliga this season, and they are still without a win. Borussia is doing a solid job in Bundesliga, but they just got embarrassed by Ajax in the Champions League.
Not only Arminia is a terrible team on the defensive end, but they are also even worse in the attacking end, and they have scored only 4 goals so far. Arminia does have 5 draws this season already, and they are in 17th place with 5 points. In their last game against Augsburg, Arminia was solid with 50% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 72% of the correct passes. This wasn’t a particularly exciting game, and it ended how we expected it to end, in a draw. the final score was 1-1. Klos has been one of the best players for Arminia so far with 1 goal and 1 assist. At the moment, there is still hope in Arminia, and I think that’s good because as we can see they can get a positive result, as long as their defense can hold because their offense is basically non-existent.
As I’ve mentioned, Borussia was embarrassed by Ajax midweek, and it was a real ass whooping. Borussia has had 45% of ball possession, 4 shots on goal, 2 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 82% of the correct passes. For a team with a stacked offense as Borussia is, they should have created a lot more chances, they should have played better, and they should have scored at least 1 goal here, but instead, Borussia has lost this game 4-0. As far as Bundesliga goes, Borussia is now in 2nd place with 18 points, 22 scored goals, and 14 conceded goals. Haaland has been playing well, and he has 9 goals and 4 assists, but there is only so much he can do by himself. Borussia will be playing against Ajax again in a couple of weeks, and they will need to bounce back before that if they want to avoid another tragedy. There are a few injuries in Borussia Dortmund, but they have their best players healthy and ready to play.
Despite Borussia playing this game on the road, I think they will get a win. Borussia is the better team here, by a lot, and even if their defense won’t be able to stop Arminia, they still have a lot of offense to compensate for that.
