Half-time conclusion:
Mannheim leads 1-0 at halftime in Bielefeld! The Waldhof presented itself extremely efficiently and coldly took advantage of an invitation from DSC keeper Keersken to take the lead. However, Bielefeld dominated for long stretches of the first half, often coming down the right side but rarely creating clear finishing positions. Arminia must remain patient and active in order to keep the three points in their own stadium.

17:21
Lockl wants to move to the right side with a long ball, but gets stuck on Oppie. Mannheim hasn’t been able to get to the opponent’s goal in an orderly manner for a long time now.
45.
5:19 p.m
A long ball to the top from Lockl forces Kersken to leave the goal. He can clear up the situation, but he doesn’t look safe – he doesn’t hit the ball fully. The young keeper seems unsettled.
45.
5:18 p.m
Boujellab appears to have hurt his knee after a press blow, but after a short break in treatment the ex-Schalke player is back on track.

Yellow card for Fridolin Wagner (Waldhof Mannheim)
After losing the ball, the six-man commits a tactical foul in midfield. He has to watch next weekend, it will be his fifth yellow.
43.
5:15 p.m
Lannert is now becoming more conspicuous again. From the right he finds Klos with a cross at the first post, but he has no control over the ball. His header from eight meters goes clear to the right.
41.
5:13 p.m
After winning the ball near the halfway line, Lannert has a lot of space on the right after a shift, whose cross sails dangerously towards Sarenren Bazee. But Seegert gets to the ball in front of him and can defuse it with his head.
39.
5:12 p.m
The Arminia can now get between the opposing chains better again! Schreck finds Boujellab, who has plenty of space from a central position of 18 meters and is allowed to finish. But his shot is too central, so Bartels can bury the ball under himself. The home team is now clearly in control of the game again and has good chances.
37.
5:10 p.m
Bielefeld is now knocking again! Putaro receives the ball on the right wing, moves to the center and tries a low shot from 20 meters. But Bartels goes long and deflects the ball towards the corner. The keeper can intercept the subsequent corner.
36.
5:09 p.m
Excitement in the Bielefeld penalty area! Boujellab loses the ball in midfield, then Waldhof quickly passes through to Herrmann. He tries to pass the ball past Kersken and falls over. However, minimal contact is not enough to award a penalty.
34.
5:07 p.m
Bielefeld now has more possession of the ball again, gains more security, but is too imprecise in the transition game. Boujellab’s pass towards Sarenren Bazee does not arrive.
31.
5:04 p.m
Sarenren Bazee puts the ball past the first opponent in the opponent’s half, but it then gets stuck on the second. Mannheim is now better in the duels and keeps the DSC further away from their own goal.
29.
5:02 p.m
There is the extremely dangerous Herrmann! The Waldhöfer comes to the ball on the right side near the baseline, moves into the center and then finishes from an acute angle. A shot whizzes a good meter over Kersken’s goal.
27.
5:00 p.m
There is now a small break at Arminia, they are currently hardly getting any pressure on the opponent’s goal. The combinations are too complicated and the passing game is too imprecise.
25.
16:58
Mannheim now ventures forward in an orderly manner, but Gouras cannot prevail against Großer when dribbling. The central defender doesn’t pose his body – there is a goal kick for Arminia.
23.
16:56
Bielfeld seems a little shocked and is now using more loose passes. Kersken searches for Klos by airmail, but cannot find the attacker. Bartels can pick up the ball easily.
20.
16:52
Tooor for Waldhof Mannheim, 0:1 by Kelvin Arase
The completely surprising Waldhof tour! Kersken plays a fatal bad pass in the build-up game, so that Hermann gets the ball and passes it on to Arase. The offensive player shoots from 20 meters, his shot is deflected by Großer and falls into the right corner of the goal. What a hair-raising misstep from Kersken!
18.
16:51
Now Lannert finds Klos with a cross, but it hits the back of the attacker. Klos’s header doesn’t get enough direction and it rolls past the far corner.
17.
4:50 p.m
For Arminia, a lot goes over the right side and Lannert, who, however, can’t find Klos again with a cross from the half field. The full-back still needs to work on precision.
15.
16:49
Bielefeld is now putting the pressure on again! First Klos is able to secure a ball in the penalty area, but is then blocked when he finishes. The counter-pressing takes effect immediately, so Schreck gets the ball and puts it into the path of the free Sarenren Bazee. In dire need, Bartels rushes out of the goal and is able to clear the ball in front of the attacker who is ready to shoot.
12.
4:45 p.m
Now it’s Boujellab who shoots from distance after a change of wing in the left half-space. The midfielder’s shot rushes clear over the box.
10.
16:43
Now the DSC puts pressure on the opponent’s goal, then Schreck shoots from 20 meters to the left. But he only hits Putaro, who is lying on the ground and is offside.
9.
16:42
Arminia is currently letting the ball run through their own ranks a lot, but things often become inaccurate in the final third. Oppie’s long ball towards Putaro ends up in no man’s land.
7.
16:39
Yellow card for Fabian Klos (Arminia Bielefeld)
The Arminia captain loudly complains to the referee about an offensive foul, who shows him a yellow card early on. Klos now has to hold back.
6.
16:39
A DSC free kick from Lannert’s left halffield sails into the center, where there is then an offensive foul in the center. But the fact remains: only Bielefeld has been on the offensive so far.
4.
16:37
After a one-two with Putaro, Lannert comes to the cross on the right side, but it sails into the goal. The Arminia shows at the beginning who is the master of the house. So far the home team is clearly better.
2.
16:36
Arminia almost took the early lead! After a long ball, Klos prevails brilliantly in the aerial duel against Seegert and then passes the ball to Boujellab. His pass to Sarenren Bazee isn’t entirely clean, so he pokes just past the right corner of the cross from an eight-meter half-left position under maximum pressure.
1.
16:32
The ball is rolling! Referee Florian Lechner cleared the game and the first possession belonged to Arminia.

Game start
16:16
Compared to the 2-2 draw against Dortmund II, Arminia’s coach Kniat completely changed his offensive line of three: Sarenren Bazee, Klos and Putaro were allowed to storm in for Shipnoski, Wintzheimer and Yildirim today. In addition, Großer replaces Belkahia, who is subject to fluctuations in form, in central defense. Mannheim coach Rehm trusts his team, which was also on the field last week. Only Rieckmann, who has been suspended, is missing from the defense; he will be replaced by Riedel.
16:07
Last weekend there was a 1-1 draw for Waldhof against Viktoria Köln, who were recently able to establish themselves in the promotion race. Waldhof even led for a long time thanks to Herrmann’s goal, but shortly before the end Cologne came back and equalized. The Waldhof goalscorer is currently in impressive form and has scored three goals in the last four games. New signing Lockl is also turning out to be more and more of a stroke of luck; he pulls the strings in Mannheim’s midfield and repeatedly initiates attacks.
15:53
There is currently little evidence of progress at Arminia under the new coach Michél Kniat. She only picked up one point from the last three games and even conceded a whopping eleven goals. Bielefeld has to get the defense under control as quickly as possible, too often the high pressing fails. Midfielder Wörl, whom Bielefeld borrowed from Hannover and who recently delivered a strong performance against Dortmund II, gives hope. He impresses with many ball conquests and also repeatedly initiates attacks.
3:40 p.m
The duel between the disappointed ones in this third division season begins in just under an hour. Two seasons ago the DSC was still playing in the Bundesliga, today it finds itself in a relegation zone in league three with nine points from ten games. Waldhof has also been disappointing so far and is in 15th place with just three points more – both teams probably imagined the start of the season differently. So you both have a duty to take something countable with you today. So it should be a close and competitive game.
15:29
Hello and welcome to the 11th matchday of the 3rd league! At 4:30 p.m. Arminia Bielefeld meets Waldhof Mannheim in the Schüco Arena.
