Arminia Bielefeld take on the visitors Regensburg at “Bielefelder Alm” in the opening match of the 2. Bundesliga of 2017/2018 season. The game will be played in Bielefeld on Saturday, July 29th.
Arminia Bielefeld demonstrated powerful performance at the end of last season, having been defeated only one single time in last 10 rounds. Such spurt allowed the team to leave Munich 1860 behind on the finishing line and occupy the 15th place in the table with 37 points gained and 50-54 goal difference which saved them from relegation. This summer the club has sold and bought about 10 players, saving the main squad. During the break Arminia Bielefeld have conducted five encounters recording four wins and one loss in them with 21 goals for and four goals against.

In their turn, Regensburg performed in the 3. Liga last season. After 38 matchdays played the team picked up 63 points with 62-50 goal difference finished on the third position and qualified to the Play Offs for promotion to 2. Bundesliga. Regensburg knocked out Munich 1860 1:1, 2:0 and earned a place in the 2. Bundesliga. This summer the new-comer of the 2. Bundesliga participated in four battles resulting in 1:4 defeat to Schweinfurt, 1:1 draw against Ried and two wins over Arsenal U-23 5:0 and FC Augsburg 2:1.
The teams met seven times in the 21st century with Arminia Bielefeld having won two times and five clashes ending in draws. I believe that the hosting side will take points in the upcoming fight as a more experienced team plus it plays the game at its own turf.
Prediction for the match: Arminia Bielefeld to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
