Bochum Form & Team News

Since a shock 3-2 win over Bayern Munich in February, Bochum are winless in eight league matches. They sit in the relegation zone on goal difference.

A four-match losing streak was followed by a 2-2 home draw vs Darmstadt having led 2-0. A 2-1 loss at FC Cologne saw them 1-0 up after 89 minutes before a late collapse.

Bochum then scored in the 90th minute to rescue a 1-1 home draw against FC Heidenheim. Last Saturday, they were beaten 1-0 at Wolfsburg as they outshot their opponents 13-9.

Midfielders Patrick Osterhage and Christopher Antwi-Adjei are both suspended for this match.

Centre back Mohammed Tolba is out after a serious knee injury. Moritz-Broni Kwarteng is also absent with a knee problem.

Bochum Predicted Lineup

Riemann; Passlack, Schlotterbeck, Ordets, Bernardo; Masovic; Asano, Stoger, Losilla, Bero; Hofmann.

Hoffenheim Form & Team News

Hoffenheim sit ninth in the Bundesliga and are just a point off seventh spot. This is despite having the second-worst defensive record in the division (60 goals conceded).

They have won four of their last eight matches including 3-2 at Dortmund, their only away win in the last ten on the road. Their last three matches have seen two wins, beginning with a 3-1 home victory over Augsburg.

After losing 4-1 at Mainz, they beat Borussia Monchengladbach 4-3 at home last weekend.

Striker Mërgim Berisha is ruled for the rest of the season. Midfielder Marco John will also play no part after a serious knee injury.

Centre back Stanley N’Soki is doubtful with a hip injury. Central midfielder Dennis Geiger has a groin injury and may miss this clash.

Hoffenheim Predicted Lineup

Baumann; Kabak, Grillitsch, Drexler; Kaderabek, Promel, Tohumcu, Skov; Kramaric; Weghorst, Beier.

Verdict

Bochum v TSG Hoffenheim

I'm backing both teams to score in the match and Bochum to take the three points. My best bet is BTTS Yes and no draw as these sides are yet to play out a draw in their clashes.
