Arminia Bielefeld vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Both sides are among the form teams in the Bundesliga, with a recent good run helping the newly-promoted Bielefeld climb out of the relegation zone.
It will, however, be a clash of contrasting styles. Frankfurt deploy an open and end-to-end pattern of play, while Bielefeld are usually more compact, with an emphasis on defensive solidity.
Ultimately, the superior quality available to manager Adi Hutter should see Frankfurt pick up a narrow win, with goals scored at both ends.
