SGD Dresden Dynamo Dresden - DSC Bielefeld Arminia Bielefeld

Five minutes of added time have been indicated, with 60 seconds of those remaining now. Can either of the two teams land a very late lucky punch to secure victory?

Around 15 minutes left to play here and a point is actually too little for both teams. Will one of the teams take a risk and force a second goal?

Actually, the hosts have everything under control, but with this equaliser from Bielefeld, everything is open again. It's quite possible that momentum will now favour the visitors.

Bielefeld have just under 30 minutes left to stage a comeback. The visitors are still finding it very difficult and rarely manage to get into the final third. Dynamo are very disciplined and are playing with a lot of passion.

Currently, much of the action is taking place in midfield and therefore between the two penalty areas. It remains overall a very sluggish fare this afternoon.

Arminia are pushing forward and are naturally looking for the equaliser, but Dynamo are defending well and stand firm at the back.

Referee Wagner blows the whistle for the second half. Dynamo continues without any personnel changes for now.

Three minutes of regular time remain in the first half. Will either of the two teams manage to score the opening goal before the break?

The already cautioned midfielder commits another foul after losing possession, taking down Telalović. He escapes a second yellow card, but he can't afford any more mistakes from now on.

Both sides are lacking the necessary creativity in the final third. Only rarely do the players of both teams have any spark of inspiration.

Both teams win the ball back after almost 17 seconds.

Even after half an hour, it remains an evenly balanced match. There's a lack of truly compelling goal-scoring opportunities, with the encounter clearly thriving on the battle and tension.

The Saxons close down all space up front and thus force Kersken into a long clearance forward. But Dynamo is also alert to the high balls and stand firm, not allowing any danger to develop.

So far it's a very balanced match, both teams are largely neutralising each other and meeting on equal terms. Clear-cut chances are still in short supply; you can sense the pressure on both clubs.

The Dresden fans are creating a magnificent atmosphere here.

Both teams are feeling each other out in these opening minutes and are avoiding taking risks going forward.

Dresden get the ball rolling!

The visitors are playing their 800th match in Bundesliga 2 today. Over 40 years ago, to be precise on 3 August 1974, they drew 1-1 against Borussia Dortmund in their very first match.

"I've never won in Dresden, but that means nothing to me. It's a completely new match. Dresden have had similar problems to us, which is normal for a newly promoted team. They've gone back to their old system and made moves in the transfer market. Their new signings have delivered immediately."

"Bielefeld are a very flexible side. We're going to have to give everything we've got against them, just like in the first half of the season [when Dynamo triumphed 2-1]. We want to turn the game in our favour by playing with confidence."

Mitch Kniat's debut as Arminia coach was a 3-1 defeat in Dresden on 5 August 2023. In charge of both Bielefeld and Verl, he has only managed to get one point in seven competitive matches against Dynamo.

Arminia last won against Dynamo in the 2019/20 season, doing the double over the Dresden side with a 4-0 home win and a 1-0 away victory. What's more, Bielefeld have also never lost in Dresden in Bundesliga 2.
