2:04 p.m
After a fast-paced five-six minutes, the encounter slows down considerably again. Bielfeld is looking for the gap, Münster is compact and doesn’t allow much. At least there will now be the first corner of the game.

2:03 p.m
However, the inaccuracies in East Westphalia’s game still remain. Klo’s pass out to the right to Sam Schreck goes too high and the hosts receive a throw-in.
26.
2:00 p.m
The derby is now picking up speed. Bielefeld continues to have more possession of the ball, Münster is waiting for a counterattack.

On the other side, Münster combines into the sixteen. Joel Grodowski then puts the ball from the right in the box from the turn into the middle, where a Bielfeld player then clears up the situation.

Bare fire Arminia! Now things are going well! After a strong pass behind the last chain, Christopher Lannert picks up the pace and takes a shot from half-right from ten meters, but only hits the crossbar. Momuluh can’t control the rebound and Münster can clear in dire need.

Yellow card for Monju Momuluh (Arminia Bielefeld)
Monju Momuluh is only slightly hit on the arm by Kyerewaa on the left side of the penalty area and falls theatrically to the ground. The referee shows the loanee from Hanover a yellow card because of a swallow.

Maybe something works according to a standard: But here too, the Prussians clear the Bielefeld cross from midfield without any problems.
15.
1:50 p.m
While the mood is slowly building up in the stands, there is still a lack of speed and ideas on the pitch. It’s an extremely slow start here in Münster.

By the way, it’s very quiet in the stadium. According to initial information, the fans are protesting because of a disproportionate police deployment during the entrance. The Münster fan scene is probably not even in the stadium in protest. Both fan camps are silent. Objects are now flying out of the Bielefeld block, including a ketchup bottle. The game is interrupted for now. But the ball quickly rolls again.
10.
1:45 p.m
Bielefeld with a lot of possession in their own half but still no brilliant ideas in the build-up game. The long balls towards striker Klos rarely reach the captain.

Münster is playing in a 4-4-2 today and can now establish itself in the guests’ half. However, there was still no dangerous shot on goal.

13:39
Counterattack by the Münster team, Joel Grodowski is then dribbling faster than the ball and loses the ball at the right corner of the penalty area. Bielefeld can clarify.
3.
13:37
Nervous start from both of them. Many quick ball losses in the midfield mean there is no danger of scoring.

Game start
1:25 p.m
The teams come to the Preußen Stadium. Referee Lars Erbst selects sides. It’s about to start here!
13:17
In the first half of the season, Münster came under heavy pressure against Arminia. Efficient Bielefeld defeated the promoted team 4-0, including Nicklas Shipnoski scoring twice. The Prussians are therefore looking for compensation today in front of a sold-out house, around 1200 fans from East Westphalia will be there for their Arminia.
1:07 p.m
No winter transfers have been made at Preußen Münster, only Marvin Benjamins was loaned out to SV Meppen in order to gain match practice. There will be a change in today’s starting eleven in goal for the Münster team. While Bayern loanee Johannes Schenk temporarily replaced Maximilian Schulze Niehues, who was still playing at the beginning of the season, the 35-year-old veteran will now be back in the box. “He had a strong pre-season and also performed well in the phase in which he didn’t play “behaved in an exemplary manner,” the coach explained the decision for Schulze Niehues.
12:56
The preparation at Arminia was also hardly better, at least in terms of the results. They lost 2-0 to Union Berlin and 3-0 to regional league team Rödinghausen. The 2-2 draw against Fortuna Düsseldorf around a week ago gave some hope. In addition, Michel Kniat’s team has been strengthened again. Midfielder Monju Momuluh was loaned from Hannover 96 for six months. A real coup was achieved with the signing of the Verler captain. Bielefeld pulled the release clause in Mael Corboz’s contract and is looking forward to a player “who was one of the best outfield players in the league in the first half of the season.”
12:46
After the Prussians’ last game of the season before the winter break against the second representative of Borussia Dortmund was canceled at short notice, the hosts’ last competitive game is dated December 16th, 2023. There they lost to Unterhaching in the league 3-2 and the winter preparation was also rather mixed. “We trained partly in the soccer hall and a lot on the artificial turf,” said coach Hildmann, and things didn’t go well in the test games either. Although they won 4-3 against Oldenburg, they lost 1-0 to Cambuur Leeuwarden from the Dutch 2nd league and suffered a bitter 6-1 defeat against SC Paderborn in the dress rehearsal before the restart.
12:37
Extremely trend-setting game in the Preußen Stadium, the relegated team has to go to the promoted team. Both teams are still deep in the bottom of the table and are currently tied on points in 13th and 14th place. The winner of today’s game could at least put a cushion of eight points between themselves and the relegation zone.
12:24
