Arminia Bielefeld will hope to take a big step towards safety when they travel to Kaiserslautern on matchday 33. The hosts are in seventh place as their promotion hopes ended weeks ago following a sequence of poor results.
Torsten Lieberknecht’s men failed to pick up a point against relegation-threatened sides in the past three weeks. A similar opponent awaits them on Friday as they’re also looking for a first goal since their hard-fought win over Hertha BSC.
On the contrary, Bielefeld are unbeaten in this timeframe. A 3-2 win away at bottom-placed Preußen Münster was sandwiched by 1-1 draws at home against Nürnberg and Bochum for Mitch Kniat’s team. The newly-promoted team currently have a two-point lead over the relegation playoff spot, which is currently occupied by Fortuna Düsseldorf.
The reverse fixture ended goalless between the two sides in December 2025. Kaiserslautern are winless in their last five home fixtures against Bielefeld as their last win dates back to 2010. The hosts will be without Fabian Kunze and Paul Joly due to accumulated yellow cards.
