Arminia Bielefeld look to extend their winning run to three matches when they take on relegation-threatened Greuther Furth on Friday.

Previous meetings between these sides have been evenly-balanced, and another competitive encounter is expected this weekend.

Greuther Fuerth team overview
Greuther Fuerth return to portpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer looking to bounce back from a 1:0 defeat at Kaiserslautern last weekend. Semih Şahin's early goal secured the points for the home side.
Before last weekend's defeat, Fuerth fell to a wild 5:4 home reversal against Magdeburg. Remarkably, Greuther had claimed a 5:4 win in the reverse meeting earlier this season. Despite scoring seven goals in their last three home matches, the hosts picked up just two draws from those fixtures.
Heiko Vogel's men have endured a poor start to 2026, with three defeats and just one win picked up from their last five Bundesliga II fixtures. Winless in their three most recent games, Greuther sit bottom of the division, now four points short of safety.
Head coach Vogel has several injury absentees this weekend. Sacha Bansé remains sidelined following knee surgery, while Marco John and Julian Green are out with adductor problems. David Abrangao and Felix Klaus are unavailable due to muscle injuries, Timo Schlieck is ruled out with a hamstring issue. Noah König and Luca Itter are also expected to remain sidelined.

Arminia Bielefeld team overview
Arminia Bielefeld come into Friday's Bundesliga contest in sold form after a fine 2:0 win against Magdeburg last weekend. Maximilian Bauer and Benjamin Boakye grabbed the goals that secured a vital roas victory for Michel Kniat's side.
Unbeaten in their last four matches, Arminia now sit 10th in the Bundesliga II, four points clear of the relegation zone.
A poor record on the road has been a big issue for Bielefeld this season. Kniat's side failed to win nine of 11 away Bundesliga II fixtures this season.
Head coach Kniat has two absentees this weekend. Daniel Richter and Joel Felix remain sidelined with a cruciate ligament tear and should injury respectively.

Prediction
Arminia have a poor road record, and they seem unlikely to keep a clean sheet against relegation-threatened Greuther.
I'm putting my stake on both teams to score on Friday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Greuther Fuerth have seen BTTS in 12 of their last 14 matches against Arminia Bielefeld
- Greuther Fuerth have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 home matches
- Arminia Bielefeld have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 6 matches
