Bochum faces a huge match in the Bundesliga this weekend, as they look to move out of the relegation places. Borussia Monchengladbach will have the home advantage, as they look to end a two-game losing run in the German top-flight.
Bundesliga Preview
Time could be running out on Bochum’s stay in the Bundesliga this term, as they are struggling to pick up the victories that they require to move out of the bottom four places. They come into this fixture on the road having lost two of their previous three, while they have been held to draws in three of their last five matches. However, they could yet move out of the bottom three this weekend if they are able to pick up a victory.
They should come into this fixture with good confidence under their belt, as they battled well in their previous match to take a draw off Borussia Dortmund. Bochum went ahead in that fixture after five minutes through Anthony Losilla, but Dortmund equalised just two minutes later. However, they were good value for a point and looked dangerous on the counter-attack.
Borussia Monchengladbach will still be battling for points in the Bundesliga, as they look to finish the season in tenth. However, a poor run of form means that they could drop down the standings this weekend, and they could end the round as low as 12th in the table. They will also likely need a few more wins to ensure their top-flight status.
Gladbach has lost each of their last two matches in the Bundesliga, with their most recent defeat coming against Stuttgart. Their only goal in that defeat was scored from the penalty spot by Julian Weigl, while Kou Ikatura was sent off with eight minutes of the 90 remaining.
