Match Preview
In this intriguing 2. Bundesliga clash, DSC Arminia Bielefeld hosts Schalke 04 at the SchücoArena on Sunday. Both teams come into the match with contrasting recent form; Bielefeld has secured three wins in their last five outings, while Schalke has shown resilience with four wins in their last five. Historically, Bielefeld has struggled against Schalke, winning only 4 of the last 10 encounters, with the visitors boasting a strong away record. A key angle to consider is Bielefeld's home advantage, where they have been difficult to break down. However, Schalke's attacking prowess, particularly in recent matches, could pose significant challenges for the Bielefeld defence. With both teams capable of finding the net, the potential for a high-scoring affair is present. Fans can expect a tightly contested match, but Schalke's momentum may give them the edge they need to secure a vital away victory.
