TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim’s impressive run of 5 unbeaten games (4 wins) ended abruptly in the last round, when they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Hertha Berlin. The international break came in good time for TSG Hoffenheim to regroup and recharge for the final stretch in the European battle.
TSG Hoffenheim are only one point behind the fourth Champions League spot coming into this weekend, and they are unlikely to give up that battle. They are one of the best home teams in the Bundesliga, winning 8 of their 13 home games played so far.
More recently, TSG Hoffenheim remained unbeaten in their last three home games, winning twice, and drawing their most recent match against Bayern Munich with 1-1.
Standard Austrian central defender Stefan Posch picked up Covid-19 while away on international duty, so he is out of the team for this match.
Vfl Bochum
Vfl Bochum are sitting in the lower part of the Bundesliga table, but they are very close to securing their Bundesliga status for next season.
However, Vfl Bochum’s recent form took a big dip, with them losing 3 of their last 4 Bundesliga matches.
Interestingly, Vfl Bochum have one of the weakest attacks in the Bundesliga, scoring only 28 goals in 27 games since the start of this season. Only the bottom two teams of Arminia Bielefeld and Greuther Furth have a worse scoring record than them.
Regarding away performances, Vfl Bochum are one of the weakest travelers, winning just twice in 13 games. They are currently on a negative away series of 5 games, losing three times and drawing twice.
Defender Armel Bella Kotchap is suspended for this match with five yellow cards suspension.
The Betting Verdict
TSG Hoffenheim chase the final Champions League spot and play good football this season.
Most of TSG Hoffenheim's home performances were outstanding, while Vfl Bochum struggled in all their last five winless games on the road.
