Japanese starlet Ritsu Doan will be hoping to lift Arminia Bielefeld out of the relegation zone by firing them to victory over midtable Freiburg on Friday. Read our reasons for Bielefeld vs Freiburg prediction and betting tips.
Bielefeld avoided defeat in a relegation six-pointer at Mainz last weekend, but an equalizer from Andreas Voglsammer in that 1-1 draw was only enough to move them level on points with third-bottom Cologne. A narrow defeat at home to RB Leipzig and a win over Bayer Leverkusen before that, though, suggest that Frank Kramer's team are improving at a key stage of the season. Further victories are required with seven games left in the campaign, however, and Japanese international Doan could be the man to provide one against Freiburg.
The on-loan PSV attacker got his fourth goal of the season in Leverkusen, while his three other goals for the promoted side have all come on home soil. Striker Sven Schipplock is the only injury doubt for Kramer's team. Bielefeld has won more headers (685) than any other team and Fabian Klos (184) more than any player in the Bundesliga this season, but their 187 crosses are the third-fewest in the division. This weekend's hosts have won all three of the previous top-flight meetings between these two in Bielefeld, scoring seven times and conceding twice in the process.
Bielefeld: Ortega - Brunner, Pieper, Nilsson, Lucoqui - Okugawa, Prietl, Maier - Doan - Klos (c), Voglsammer
Out: -
Doubtful: Schipplock (hand)
Coach: Frank Kramer
Vincenzo Grifo got the opening goal in Freiburg's 2-0 win over Bielefeld in December, but he misses out through illness this weekend. His absence for a second game running comes at a bad time for visiting coach Christian Streich since two other attackers and regular starters - Lucas Höler and Ermedin Demirovic - are also unavailable. Höler and Demirovic both picked up a fifth yellow card of the season in the 2-1 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach last time out, so the pair must now serve a one-game ban on Friday. Nils Petersen and Guus Til will fancy their chances of getting a start as a result, while combative midfielder Nicolas Höfler - who is back from suspension - should return to the engine room. Roland Salai has scored in each of his previous two Bundesliga outings, while Ermedin Demirovic has also provided two assists in those games.
Demirovic (four goals, six assists) and Vincenzo Grifo (seven goals, six assists) have both hit double figures for goal involvements for Freiburg this term. Freiburg did pick up all three points the last time they made the trip - a 4-1 second division win in 2015/16 - and they have won the last two fixtures after their 2-0 home victory on Matchday 11.
Freiburg: Müller - Lienhart, Schlotterbeck, Gulde - Schmid, Santamaria, Höfler, Günter (c) - Sallai, Petersen, Til
Out: Demirovic (suspended), Höler (suspended)
Doubtful: Grifo (not included), Jeong (knee)
Coach: Christian Streich

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
