Sports Mole previews Wednesday's Bundesliga clash between Arminia Bielefeld and Augsburg, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Arminia Bielefeld host Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Wednesday, with the visitors looking to get back to winning ways having failed to win any of their last five matches.

Arminia, meanwhile, currently occupy the relegation playoff position in the table, so both sides will be desperate for an invaluable win.


Match preview

Preview: Arminia vs. Augsburg - prediction, team news, lineups

Arminia's 2-0 defeat at Freiburg on Saturday was their seventh loss in eight league games, leaving them three points adrift of safety at present.

Uwe Neuhaus's side dug in well for the majority of the game, but Vincenzo Grifo's late penalty saw them frantically chase an equaliser, with Jeong Woo-yeong's last minute strike wrapping up the three points for the hosts.

After a bright start upon their return to the Bundesliga, Arminia are struggling to pick up the points they will require in order to survive at this level.

However, the recent victory over fellow strugglers Mainz 05 has at least kept them out of the automatic relegation places for now, with a home game against Augsburg representing a real opportunity to secure a third win of the season.

Indeed, the fact that Augsburg required a last minute equaliser to avoid defeat against Schalke 04, who have not won in the Bundesliga in their last 27 matches, will provide confidence to Arminia in terms of gaining a positive result.

Heiko Herrlich's side had held a one-goal lead at the half-time interval via Suat Serdar's own goal, but Benito Raman and Nassim Boujellab turned the game on its head either side of the hour mark.

In fairness to Augsburg, Florian Niederlechner's red card afar 53 minutes left them with an uphill battle, so Herrlich will have been more than satisfied with a point in the end after Marco Richter's 93rd-minute equaliser earned them a 2-2 draw.

In the same vein Arminia will fancy their chances, Augsburg will, too, which could create an intriguing battle.

Team News

Aside from Arne Maier, who will miss out with an ankle injury, Neuhaus appears to have a clean bill of health to choose from.

The 61-year-old will be hoping for an inspired performance from Ritsu Doan, who has shown flashes of becoming a phenomenal player so far this campaign.

Augsburg are not so fortunate on the availability front, with Iago, Noah Sarenren Bazee, Jan Moravek, Mads Pedersen and Fredrik Jensen all out injured.

Niederlechner is suspended after his dismissal against Schalke, while Andre Hahn is unable to feature due to coronavirus.

Arminia Bielefeld possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Brunner, Van der Hoorn, Nilsson, Lucoqui; Doan, Hartel, Prietl, Soukou; Klos, Schipplock

Augsburg possible starting lineup:
Gikiewicz; Framberger, Gouweleeuw, Uduokhai, Gumny; Caligiuri, Khedira, Gruezo, Vargas; Finnbogason, Strobl


We say: Arminia Bielefeld 1-1 Augsburg

With both sides desperate to avoid defeat, we can see a fairly insipid draw playing out on Wednesday.

While Arminia need to find wins in their attempt to survive relegation, avoiding defeat generally has to be regarded as a positive result for them at this level.
