    Leverkusen have the chance to win a trophy this year; however, to do so, they need to first win this match.

    Leverkusen looked dead in the ditch a few weeks ago, but they’ve surged brilliantly in recent weeks, putting pressure on Bayern Munich in the league.

    It’s not over yet, even though their chances are slim.

    However, their prospects in the DFB Pokal are much better, where they are the strongest team remaining, but it won’t be easy.

    Matches are rarely straightforward, especially going away to a team like Arminia Bielefeld, for whom this is the biggest fixture of the season.

    Both teams are capable, and it should be an interesting match. Keep reading this Arminia Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen preview to find out which team our algorithm predicts will win.

    Arminia Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen preview

    Arminia Bielefeld form

    Arminia Bielefeld used to be a Bundesliga side many years ago but are currently playing in the third German league. They’re a decent side there, currently sitting at number four in the standings.

    The reality though is that they’re playing with mostly second teams or reserve teams of the top teams, so they’re not the best side. Certainly not compared to a strong Bundesliga side like Bayer Leverkusen.

    They can play football though, and they will try really hard in this one, though it’s unlikely that they will be able to do much because Leverkusen are a much stronger team who want to win the trophy as well.

    Bayer Leverkusen team form

    Leverkusen have been playing excellent football lately, winning the majority of matches played. They are not perfect because they tend to concede too much, but they manage to turn it around in most cases.

    It’s been two wins in a row now, both of which were impressive, and they want to keep it going. This might be the last chance for this team to win a trophy under outgoing manager Xabi Alonso, who has done tremendous work.

    Some top players like Florian Wirtz are also likely to leave in the summer. This ups the motivation to finish on a high, and considering the amount of quality that they have, it shouldn’t be a massive problem to do so.

    Arminia Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction

    Like most German teams, Bielefeld is a dangerous home side. They have shown that by beating a couple of Bundesliga teams recently, and after all, you don’t make the Cup semi-finals by mistake.

    They have never faced a team like Leverkusen before though, who are essentially the second-best team in Germany. On paper, the two sides are not even close. They will also likely be very motivated because this is the only trophy they can realistically win this year.

    Our algorithm certainly favours Leverkusen to win. Still, it could be a relatively open match with a lot of goals scored.
