LiontipsBochum vs Arminia. Prediction and Betting Tips for Bundesliga
Command Analysis
Before the start of the season Bochum were considered one of the main relegation contenders in Bundesliga - Thomas Reis' team has one of the weakest line-ups in the league. But Die Unabsteigbaren performed successfully in the first half of the season, earning enough points to avoid relegation struggle in the end of the season.
Bochum's results declined after the New Year, but they did enough to stay in Bundesliga. Die Unabsteigbaren are currently 12th in the standings, 10 points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
In the previous round Bochum secured a 4:3 victory over Borussia at Dortmund.
Just like their today opponent, Arminia were tipped for relegation before the start of the season. But unlike Bochum, the Blues were unable to put that status under question. Team dropped too many points in the first half of the season and a second half is not much of an improvement.
After the departure of Frank Kramer Arminia played two matches under the management of Marco Kostmann. In the first match team suffered a 1:3 defeat to Koln and the second one ended in a 1:1 draw against Hertha. The Blues are currently 17th in the standings, but they are only two points behind the relegation play-off zone and it is still possible to avoid relegation.

Tip and bets
Arminia have no chance to avoid relegation battle, they can only climb to the relegation play-off spot, Stuttgart are only two points above. The Blues will surely try to go all the way ahead, so Bochum are unlikely to keep a clean sheet. However, Die Unabsteigbaren are able to fight off any opponent at home, so we should expect a goal exchange here.
Our prediction - both teams to score
Bochum are not in any danger of relegation, but Arminia shouldn't expect mercy - Die Unabsteigbaren will surely try to satisfy their fans in one of the last matches of the season. Arminia are in a poor form, the Blues will surely try to pick up the points, but it won't be so easy now.
Our second bet is on Bochum to win by one goal
