Arminia Bielefeld vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Leverkusen have defeated the hosts on the previous two occasions.

Arminia Bielefeld are all set to host Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal 2024-25 semi-final fixture. The hosts secured a win against Werder Bremen in the quarterfinals, which helped them seal a spot in the last four. Xabi Alonso’s men secured a close win over Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich to get to the semifinals.

Arminia Bielefeld will be at home, but they will be under pressure here as they are setting up to face Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen. They will have to come up with a better attacking rate and a good defensive set of play. It is going to be a tough contest for them as Leverkusen are going to give them a tough time.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen will be competing away from home in the German Cup semifinals. They secured a close win over Bayern Munich, and they will have a chance to get to the finals and defend the DFB-Pokal. Leverkusen secured a win in their previous league game over Bochum.

Players to Watch

Marius Worl (Arminia Bielefeld)

The young German midfielder will be looking to step up here. Marius Worl also scored an important goal in the previous German Cup encounter for Bielefeld. This helped them secure a win over Werder Bremen.

By controlling the midfield to the full extent and also contributing his side in the attacking front, Worl can be a threat to the opponent’s defence.

Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen)

Alongside Patrik Schick, Victor Boniface will be leading the attacking lines for Bayer Leverkusen. They have secured victories in their last two games, which is a good sign for them. They will have to come up with a strong attack rate to ease past Arminia Bielefeld’s defence. This will help Leverkusen to secure a spot in the German Cup final.
