Bochum, unbeaten in their last three matches in the Bundesliga, will host bottom side Stuttgart at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Sunday at 15:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Bochum currently sit 14th on the Bundesliga table with 26 points, just two points removed from the relegation zone. They are unbeaten in their last three Bundesliga outings; they won two consecutive matches before drawing in their last match.
However, Bochum’s proximity to the bottom means that Thomas Letsch and his charges will have to up their game and form in the run-in to survive in the Bundesliga. This will have to start with bottom-of-the-table Stuttgart on Sunday.
Stuttgart have won just four matches throughout the season so far. They have had eight draws and 14 defeats. In their last five matches in the Bundesliga, Stuttgart have picked up a solitary point from the available 15; they have lost four times and drawn once.
Bruno Labbadia will have to pick up the motivation of his men and get them playing in winning form soon if they are to pull of an escape and retain their Bundesliga status.
Injury Report
Bochum are missing Paul Grave (shoulder), Simon Zoller (hamstring), and Michael Esser (abdominal influenza).
Stuttgart will be without Silas and Borna Sosa, both with muscular problems.
Prediction
Bochum are favorites to win this match and bolster their bid to survive in the Bundesliga.
