Arminia Bielefeld vs. Borussia Dortmund 10/31/20 Bundesliga Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction
2020-10-31 10:30:00 EDT
Arminia Bielefeld is welcoming Borussia Dortmund to Schuco-Arena in round 6 in the German Bundesliga.
Arminia hasn’t won any of their last 4 games, and they have conceded 6 goals in their last 2 Bundesliga games while scoring only 2 goals. Arminia is in 14th place in the Bundesliga standings with 4 points, 4 scored goals, and 8 conceded goals. In their latest Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg on the road, Arminia has had 52% of ball possession, 1 shot on goal, 3 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 78% of the correct passes. Arminia has had a good game, but they conceded 2 goals in 2 minutes in the first half. In the 80th minute, Arminia cut the lead to half, but they weren’t able to score another goal. Arminia has lost this match 2-1. Soukou, Edmundsson, Doan, and Schipplock have each scored 1 goal for Arminia so far this season. Klos, Ortega, and Doan each have 1 assist. Voglsammer, Brunner, and Soukou are all injured, and they will miss this game. I’m sure that no one in Arminia expected to have an easy season, especially because they are the newcomers to Bundesliga, but they are outside the relegation zone at the moment, and that is all that matters.
Borussia has won 4 of their last 5 games, and after losing to Lazio in their first Champions League game, Borussia has beaten Zenit at home earlier this week. Borussia was a much better team in this game, and they absolutely deserved a win. In the Bundesliga standings, Borussia is in 3rd place with 12 points, 11 scored goals, and only 2 conceded goals which makes Borussia the best defensive team in Bundesliga. Haaland is the leading goalscorer for Borussia with 5 goals. Sancho and Reyna both have 3 assists, while Haaland added 2 more assists. Schmelzer, Zagadou, and Schulz are all injured for Borussia Dortmund. In their last Bundesliga game, Borussia was playing against Schalke at home, and they have had 74% of ball possession, 7 shots on goal, 7 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and high 90% of accurate passes. With 3 scored goals in the second half, Borussia has won this match 3-0. Winning in the Champions League was certainly a big deal for Borussia Dortmund, especially after losing in round 1, but now it’s time to keep winning in the Bundesliga because if Borussia wants to stay close to Bayern and the top of the table, they need every point possible because Bayern doesn’t look like they are stopping anytime soon.
The trends are mixed here, but the last game these two teams played was back in 2010. Arminia is the team that will spend the whole season at the bottom of the table, while Borussia is playing solid soccer and they will be fighting for the title. Arminia’s defense is bad, while Borussia is scoring a lot of goals. I will side with Borussia and goals in this one.
