East Westphalia as an uncomfortable opponent and cup fright
Arminia Bielefeld can look back on a strong 24/25 season, the highlight of which was not just promotion. No, the Arminians even made it to the final of the DFB Cup, where they were only thwarted by VfB Stuttgart in a 2:4 defeat, having previously eliminated several well-known first division teams. Not least Bayer Leverkusen. In this respect, you should definitely keep in mind for football predictions that a very uncomfortable opponent awaits the supposed favorite Fortuna. With a two-point lead over Dresden and 21 wins in 38 games, Arminia Bielefeld finished the 24/25 season in first place in the 3rd division. 36 goals conceded was also the best defensive figure.

How good is Fortuna Düsseldorf's current form?
Our football predictions naturally don't want to leave out the performances of the visitors and the corresponding analysis. In preparation for the new season, Fortuna Düsseldorf recently landed two clear victories against Alemannia Aachen (4:0) and SSVg Velbert (3:0). Before that, the Rhinelanders were beaten twice by stronger opposition - 1:0 against Turkish first division side Basaksehir (0:1) and 3:1 against Austrian side BW Linz. The truth of their actual form therefore lies somewhere in the middle.

SV Elversberg and SC Paderborn only conceded three defeats away from home.Of the last seven matches in the 2nd division, only the season finale at 1. FC Magdeburg (2:4) was lost. However, the Fortunen have scored at least one goal of their own 21 times in a row.

Our prediction for Arminia Bielefeld vs Fortuna Düsseldorf
One thing we can already say in our expert tips: Düsseldorf have always been good for a goal of their own. Most recently, Fortuna scored at least one goal 21 times in a row in the 2nd division. At the same time, Bielefeld are strong defensively, which is why we still consider under 2.5 to be realistic. Even better odds mean the Draw X, which speaks for an uncomfortable Arminia and numerous draws in the H2H comparison.
