There will be a key game at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings this weekend, as Bochum look for maximum points in their battle to avoid relegation. Augsburg will be the visitors, as they look for a second straight win.
The pressure will be on Bochum this weekend, as the games are running out for the Bundesliga side to escape relegation. They currently sit 17th in the standings, and they will be looking for a return to winning ways to lift them out of the bottom two places. A victory on Saturday could lift them to as high as 15th this weekend.
They have been poor defensively throughout the season in the Bundesliga, as they have allowed a league-high of 69 goals. Throughout history, they have allowed more goals in one previous season. It is also a negative trend for their chances of survival that no side that has conceded 69 goals at this stage of the season has managed to maintain their Bundesliga status.
Augsburg will likely require one more victory to maintain their Bundesliga status this season, as they currently sit 13th overall in the standings. At present, they sit six points above the relegation places. However, they will likely feel more confident coming into this fixture as they ended a seven-game winless run last weekend with a 1-0 success against Union Berlin.
But, their away form would still be a concern at this stage of the season. To this point, they have gone eleven away games without a win, and they have picked up just three points from a possible 33 on their travels. Augsburg also come into this fixture having gone three without a defeat for just the second time this season.
This will be the sixth time that Bochum and Augsburg have clashed across the top two divisions in Germany. Away teams have dominated the previous encounters by winning three times. Over that period, Augsburg has claimed two wins on the road, with Bochum claiming three victories on their travels.
The away trend in this fixture is hard to ignore this weekend. Augsburg got back on track with a victory last weekend, and we could see them registering back-to-back victories to ensure their Bundesliga status for next season.
