The Bundesliga 1 fixture at SchücoArena on Friday will see home side Arminia Bielefeld playing against opponents Augsburg, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
Arminia Bielefeld will be wanting a better result here after the 3-0 Bundesliga 1 loss in their previous game against Bayer Leverkusen. It’s our opinion that Bielefeld should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, handing starts to Stefan Ortega, Cedric Brunner, Guilherme Ramos, Joakim Nilsson, J. Barrett Laursen, Fabian Kunze, Alessandro Schoepf, Patrick Wimmer, Gonzalo Castro, Masaya Okugawa and Janni Serra.
There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Arminia Bielefeld manager Frank Kramer to be concerned about from a near full-strength group of players. 14 will miss out.
How Arminia Bielefeld could look against Augsburg
In their previous fixture, Augsburg drew 1-1 in the Bundesliga 1 match with Borussia Dortmund. From our viewpoint, Augsburg might utilise a 3-4-1-2 system with a starting lineup of Rafal Gikiewicz, Reece Oxford, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Felix Uduokhai, Daniel Caligiuri, Arne Maier, Carlos Gruezo, M. Valentin Pedersen, Michael Gregoritsch, Andre Hahn and Ruben Vargas.
Augsburg manager Markus Weinzierl has to currently contend with reduced team options. Andi Zeqiri (Corona virus), Alfred Finnbogason (Tear in the abductor muscle), Robert Gumny (Ankle Injury), Fredrik Jensen (Dead Leg), Tobias Strobl (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and 15 (FC Augsburg) miss out here. Niklas Dorsch will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
