Match preview: Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen
Bielefeld and Bayer Leverkusen will clash at the Schücoarena in a DFB Pokal semifinal fixture. The teams have faced each other recently on two occasions: on 26 February 2022, Bayer 04 Leverkusen triumphed with a (3-0) win, and again on 3 October 2021, when Bayer 04 Leverkusen won (0-4). In this encounter, the home advantage may play a crucial role, as Bielefeld has shown significant disparities between their home and away performances.
Team analysis: Bielefeld
The home team arrives at this stage of the DFB Pokal (semifinals) after previous qualifiers against Werder Bremen, SC Freiburg, FC Union Berlin, and Hannover 96. Bielefeld has a home advantage, generally stronger when playing in front of their supporters, boasting a record of 6 wins, 4 draws, and 20 goals scored in their last 30 matches. In contrast, they have achieved 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses at home, netting 34 goals and conceding 17. Following a recent home draw with Hannover 96 II (2-2), Bielefeld heads into this fixture following a successful run in the DFB Pokal, where they have won their last four home matches.
In this competition, they have found the net in every one of their last four matches. Interestingly, they’ve only turned the score around once in the seven games where they conceded the first goal. A notable aspect of their last eight home matches across all competitions is that they scored 6 of their 14 goals during the closing minutes (76’‑90’).
Arminia Bielefeld’s recent performance includes drawing 2-2 against Hannover 96 II, a match in the third tier of German football. It’s significant that they reached the DFB Pokal’s semifinals after eliminating Werder Bremen in the prior round. The home side typically employs a 4-3-3 formation, favouring a fast-paced style of play, particularly utilising the flanks. Joel Grodowski, Noah Sarenren Bazee, and Julian Kania are key players attempting to breach the opposition’s area. Roberts Uldrikis will be unavailable for this match due to injury.
Team analysis: Bayer Leverkusen
The visiting team comes into this DFB Pokal (semifinals) after previous qualifying matches against FC Köln, FC Bayern Munich, Elversberg, and Carl Zeiss Jena. Bayer Leverkusen’s performance is less impacted by home advantage, demonstrating consistency both at home and away. Their recent record shows 7 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses as visitors while scoring a total of 25 goals and conceding 22. At home, they achieved 12 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, scoring 35 goals and conceding just 13. After a recent home victory over VFL Bochum 1848 (3-1), Bayer Leverkusen approaches this match having won 6 and drawn 2 of their last 10 competitive fixtures.
In this competition, they have claimed victory in their last four matches. The defence has also been effective, conceding goals in only 1 of their last 4 games, while the attack has scored consistently, with at least one goal in each of the last four matches. In 15 contests, they have successfully overturned the score in 2 of the 5 occasions when they conceded the first goal.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen will enter this contest following a 3-1 win against Bochum in the Bundesliga. It is also noted that the visitors progressed to this stage of the DFB Pokal after eliminating Köln in the previous round. The visiting team is expected to adopt a 3-5-2 tactical setup to maximise their offensive opportunities. Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick are likely to take on more attacking roles, while Alejandro Grimaldo will look to exploit the left flank with his notable speed. Unfortunately, Nathan Tella, Martin Terrier, Edmond Tapsoba, Florian Wirtz, Mario Hermoso, and Jeanuël Belocin will miss this match due to injuries.
