VfL Bochum

VfL Bochum looks safe at mid-table, even though their recent form is not quite good. They won only once in the last six 2.Bundesliga games, with four of those matches ending in draws.

They are tough to beat at home, where VfL Bochum is unbeaten in six matches, drawing four and winning twice.

Defensively, they are not perfect (concede around a goal per match on average), but they don’t collapse often.

Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel is in deep trouble now. They are the team with the worst form in 2.Bundesliga, going winless in eight games, losing six.

Holstein Kiel is now second from the bottom, and the odds of them being relegated are getting slashed day by day.

Besides losing, they are also conceding a lot. They lost 2-3 to Nurnberg last week, which was their 7th game from the last 8 in which they conceded 2+ goals.

The Betting Verdict

VfL Bochum is in no immediate danger of relegation, but are still not perfectly safe. Perhaps a couple of wins will seal the deal for them, and one of those should come in this game.

Holstein Kiel were simply awful in the last couple of months, and I don’t see how they will revive their game anytime soon.

Back VfL Bochum to win this match at solid odds.
