Arminia Bielefeld hosts Schalke in German DFB Pokal 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 29th at SchücoArena (Bielefeld)
Arminia plays in Bundesliga 2 now. And it’s acting pretty cool in that tournament. Thanks to 13 points gained in the last six rounds, the team climbed to 2nd place, which gives a direct ticket to the highest division. And there are only 2 points behind leading Hamburg. Arminia is not bad in the attack. 22 goals scored in 11 rounds. And, to put it mildly, the team is mediocre in defense. 12 goals conceded. It is too much, as for the vice-leader of the championship. In the last round of the cup, Arminia modestly beat the team of the northeast regional league, Victoria Berlin (1-0).

Schalke earned only two points in the last three rounds of the championship and dropped out of the top five. Now the team is 6th in the standings. In the German Cup 1/32 finals, Schalke didn’t leave a single chance of success for the team from the Northern Regional League Drochtersen/ Assel, having beaten it on its pitch (0-5). In the championship, the Miners scored 14 times and conceded nine goals.
Schalke conceded in 3 out of 4 away matches of the championship. And the team kept a clean sheet in only three of its last 20 visits. Even the amateur club Bottrop scored it during that period. Arminia does not look bad in general, and in the attack in particular. As for the championship, the team failed to score in only 1 out of 11 rounds played. Only one of the last 16 home games ended without a goal. And this goal streak is likely to continue. Schalke, judging by the latest results, is slightly “hooked”. But Arminia is not particularly reliable in defense, and the Miners have an impressive potential in the attack. Six players of their squad have already scored in nine championship matches. Therefore, almost all footballers of the visitors, including defenders, will be a threat to the net of Arminia. And they surely manage to score at least once, because the defense of the hosts is rather weak even in Bundesliga 2.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
