Bochum - Arminia Bielefeld betting tips and odds

Though we can call Bochum the favourites in this matchup, Arminia Bielefeld are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Team from Bielefeld are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

Bochum have a lot to be proud of when it comes to their previous performance. Almost everyone expected a loss because they were visiting a far stronger team - Borussia Dortmund . After an inconclusive first half, however, Bochum narrowly won the game against all odds (3:4).

Most online bookmakers saw the 1:1 score at the end of Team from Bielefeld’s previous league match coming. The odds for their home victory were set around 2.75, so the home-field advantage mostly served to even the playing field. Right on cue, neither team managed to definitively pull ahead throughout the game’s runtime.

The first step Bochum need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Arminia Bielefeld’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Bochum have a narrow defeat on record from earlier in the season. With home-field advantage, however, they’re expected to win this showdown – at least as far as the bookies are concerned.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.90 at Betway.
