Game: LEVERKUSEN vs ARMINIA BIELEFELD
Type: GERMAN BUNDESLIGA
Date: 10 May, 2009
PREVIEW
Leverkusen could be forgiven for treating tonight's match against Arminia Bielefeld as a distraction as their only chance of Europe is now through the upcoming German Cup final against Werder Bremen. With only four matches to go before the season wraps up, the host are sitting on 8th position with ten points behind the last European slot in the table standings. At home, they are placed at 12th position with a 5W 4D 6L record, which nothing to shout about. In fact, they have yet to win at home in their last 5.
Bielefeld, who currently occupies the last relegation spot, will be hoping to take advantage of Leverkusen's distraction. The visitors are one point behind the safety spot and will be hoping to upset the host and move further away from the drop zone. Unfortunately, their away form does not augur well for them as they score a meagre average of 0.76 goals but conceding 1.47 goals in return.
KWIK STATS
HOME > LEVERKUSEN
AWAY > ARMINIA BIELEFELD
THE PICK
LEVERKUSEN holds too much firepower for the visiting team, despite the home team's distraction. Past head-to-head records also favours the hosts as they have never lost to Bielefeld, trashing them on 4 out of 5 occasions.
