THE PREDICTION
Hertha extended their winless run in the Bundesliga to five games after drawing 2-2 with Stuttgart and simply cannot afford to lose here against Arminia Bielefeld, who sit inside the bottom two and five points behind the hosts. The likelihood is that Hertha will take no unnecessary risks offensively that could see them caught out on the counter-attack, knowing that defeat to Arminia will drag them right into the relegation dogfight. With that in mind, a turgid encounter may be on the cards as whilst the visitors have shown themselves capable of strong defensive performances across the past couple of weeks, their attack will likely struggle here away from home if Hertha are prioritising the avoidance of defeat rather than victory at all costs. Therefore, backing under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match looks a shrewd move.
