RB Leipzig vs Arminia Bielefeld prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2020-21
After two disappointing results in the last few days, RB Leipzig welcome Arminia Bielefeld to the Red Bull Arena for a Bundesliga clash.
Leipzig drew 1-1 with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga last weekend, and then lost 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.
Julian Nagelsmann's side were a tad unlucky to lose that game in Paris, as they had a lot of chances, and dominated the play, but just couldn't find a way past Keylor Navas.
They also conceded the goal to a dodgy penalty call, with Angel Di Maria adjudged to have been fouled in the box when there was minimal contact.
Arminia Bielefeld, in their first season back in the Bundesliga after gaining promotion, find themselves in the bottom three after eight games. They have lost each of their last five games, the latest of which was a 2-1 loss against Bayer Leverkusen.

RB Leipzig vs Arminia Bielefeld Prediction
Leipzig will be keen to bounce back after two poor results in their last two matches. They will take encouragement from the way they performed in Paris, though, where they created enough chances to trouble PSG.
In a tight early-season table, RB Leipzig are currently just two points off league leaders Bayern Munich. They will know that they have to keep putting the points on the board, in order to take advantage of any potential slip-ups from the other teams at the top.
Arminia Bielefeld have struggled this season and their struggles appear set to continue in this game.
Prediction:Â RB Leipzig 2-0 Arminia Bielefeld
