-------------------------------
Arminia Bielefeld
Arminia Bielefeld do not have any fresh injury concerns heading into this fixture and could end up naming the same XI that started in their last cup outing against Weder Bremen.
It will be a 4-2-3-1 formation, where Jonas Kersken will take charge in between the sticks. The back four will be made up of Christopher Lannert, Leon Schneider, Joel Felix, and Louis Oppie. Lannert and Oppie will play as the full-backs, while Schneider and Felix will feature in the heart of the defence.
In the centre of the park, Sam Schreck should partner with Stefano Russo. The duo will look to shield the backline and ensure the Bayer Leverkusen midfielders do not dominate the ball too deep in their half.
Lukas Kunze and Marius Worl will feature on the flanks, providing much-needed width to their attacks. Mael Corboz will be the attacking midfielder, while Julian Kania will be the one leading the line for them.
Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen could be without quite a few first-team stars for this away fixture against Arminia Bielefeld as Martin Terrier, Nathan Tella, Edmond Tapsoba, Mario Hermoso and Jeanuel Belocian are all out injured. Meanwhile, Florian Wirtz is doubtful for this fixture.
Xabi Alonso will stick to the 3-4-2-1 formation, where Lukas Hradecky will be in goal. The back three will be made up of Nordi Mukiele, Jonathan Tah, and Piero Hincapie.
The trio will receive significant support from Jeremie Frimpong and Alejandro Grimaldo, who will feature as the wing-backs. In the centre of the park, Granit Xhaka and Exequiel Palacios will look to control the tempo of the game. Aleix Garcia and Amine Adli could be the two attacking midfielders behind Patrik Schick, who should lead the line for Bayer Leverkusen against Arminia Bielefeld on Tuesday.
Arminia Bielefeld possible starting lineup:
Kersken; Lannert, Schneider, Felix, Oppie; Schreck, Russo; Kunze, Corboz, Worl; Kania
Bayer Leverkusen possible starting lineup:
Hradecky; Mukiele, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Xhaka, Palacios, Grimaldo; Adli, Garcia; Schick

Prediction: Arminia Bielefeld 1-3 Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen will find it difficult to get overcome Arminia Bielefeld given the hosts have a proven track record against sides in the top flight.
