The Bundesliga returns this weekend and will see Freiburg host Arminia Bielefeld at the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday afternoon.

Freiburg picked up a 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen last time out via a first-half penalty from Vincenzo Grifo and a late winner from Kevin Schade. They have now played back-to-back games without losing after losing four of their five games prior.

The Breisgau Brazilians sit third in the Bundesliga table with 29 points from 17 games. They will be looking to build on their newfound form and kick on with the second half of the season.

Arminia Bielefeld picked up a shock 2-0 win over RB Leipzig away from home in their last game. They had less than a quarter of the possession but were very incisive on the counter attack and very much deserved their victory. Die Arminen have now won back-to-back games after winning just once since the season began.

Freiburg vs Arminia Bielefeld Prediction

Freiburg have won two of their last four games after losing three straight games prior. They have lost just two home league games since the season began and will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage at the weekend.

Arminia Bielefeld picked up back-to-back league victories before the break after winning just once throughout the entirety of the season. Confidence levels will be high within the side but it may not be enough to see them avoid defeat on Saturday.

Prediction: Freiburg 2-1 Arminia Bielefeld
