Dieter Hecking’s Bochum will continue their fight against relegation this weekend. The hosts come into this round after a three-game unbeaten streak for the first time in a year. It’s a concern that they’ve fallen behind 18 times already this season.
Bochum have struggled in front of goal, scoring just 0.96 goals per match from an xG average of 1.33. Defensively, they’ve also been weak, conceding an estimated 2.04 balls per game. They’ve only kept clean sheets in 13% of their fixtures.
Here are VfL Bochum’s last six results across all competitions as of February 28, 2025:
| Date | Competition | Home Team | Score | Away Team |
| 22/02/2025 | Bundesliga | VfL Wolfsburg | 1-1 | VfL Bochum |
| 15/02/2025 | Bundesliga | VfL Bochum | 2-0 | Borussia Dortmund |
| 09/02/2025 | Bundesliga | Holstein Kiel | 2-2 | VfL Bochum |
| 01/02/2025 | Bundesliga | VfL Bochum | 0-1 | SC Freiburg |
| 25/01/2025 | Bundesliga | Borussia M’gladbach | 3-0 | VfL Bochum |
| 18/01/2025 | Bundesliga | VfL Bochum | 3-3 | RB Leipzig |
The hosts will be without two key players this weekend. Striker Gerrit Holtmann has been ruled out due to a thigh problem, and Felix Passlack is sidelined with a head injury.
Bochum predicted lineup vs Hoffenheim (3-5-2): Horn; Masovic, Ordets, Bernardo; Oermann, Bero, Sissoko, Losilla, Wittek; Boadu, Hofmann.
Hoffenheim have been in solid form on the road in recent weeks, winning two of their last three away matches. That is an excellent return after only two victories in their previous 20 on the road prior to this run of form.
The visitors have been relatively consistent in the final third on the road, normalising one goal per game from an xG of 1.26. However, they’ve also struggled defensively, conceding an average of 1.73 balls per match from an xGA of 1.61.
| Date | Competition | Home Team | Score | Away Team |
| 23/02/2025 | Bundesliga | TSG Hoffenheim | 1-1 | VfB Stuttgart |
| 16/02/2025 | Bundesliga | Werder Bremen | 1-3 | TSG Hoffenheim |
| 09/02/2025 | Bundesliga | TSG Hoffenheim | 0-4 | Union Berlin |
| 02/02/2025 | Bundesliga | Bayer Leverkusen | 3-1 | TSG Hoffenheim |
| 26/01/2025 | Bundesliga | TSG Hoffenheim | 2-1 | 1. FC Nürnberg |
| 19/01/2025 | Bundesliga | TSG Hoffenheim | 3-1 | VfL Bochum |
Hoffenheim have a lengthy injury list to contend with this weekend. Grischa Proemel, Lukas Petersson, Diadie Samassekou, Pavel Kaderabek, and Umut Tohumcu are all set to miss out. Ozan Kabak, Valentin Gendrey, and Ihlas Bebou face late fitness tests.
Hoffenheim predicted lineup vs Bochum (5-3-2): Philipp; Prass, Chaves, Akpoguma, Nsoki, Bülter; Bischof, Stach, Becker; Orban, Kramarić.
Bet hereBochum came into this weekend in solid recent form and could continue that sequence against a visiting side that have been poor on the road this season.
The hosts also have an enhanced chance of a victorious Bochum vs Hoffenheim prediction based on the head-to-head record after winning each of the last four.
Hoffenheim have been poor defensively this term after keeping just two clean sheets. Only Holstein Kiel have kept fewer clean sheets.
Despite this weekend’s clash having huge stakes, it could be a fixture low on cards. The home squad have normalised just two cards per game so far, while Hoffenheim have seen around 1.87. Both sides have also averaged under 3.5 cards in at least 48% of their encounters.
Myron Boadu will once again be Bochum’s leading chance as a scorer. The striker has netted five in ten appearances this term, and has registered an xG of 5.48 from an estimated 2.81 shots per 90. No other player in the hosts’ team has achieved a higher xG average in the Bundesliga this season.
