The Bundesliga weekend kicks off on Friday with an interesting showdown between two sides battling for vital points. The increased pressure this week will be on the home side, as Bochum look for a return to winning ways against Hoffenheim to enhance their survival chances.
It has been a damaging period of the season for Bochum across recent weeks, as the German side have dropped into the relegation playoff position after losing three of their last five matches. There is still time to rise back up the standings, as they could move up to 14th if they are able to claim maximum points in this home match against Hoffenheim.
Bochum’s recent form would be a massive concern, as they are the only team in the competition that have failed to win over their last five outings. Meanwhile, no side has suffered more than their three defeats across the same period. Bochum’s poor run of results continued in their previous outing, as they suffered a 1-0 away defeat against Wolfsburg. But, confidence can be taken from the fact that four of their five wins have been recorded at home this term.
Hoffenheim will be the visiting team this week in the Bundesliga, and they may yet still have their sights set on a European finish in the standings. The German side currently sits ninth, but they are just six points adrift of the top six positions. But, their form has been massive inconsistent over their last five after winning twice and falling to defeats on three occasions.
But, they come into this round after landing victories in two of their last three matches, and only the top five teams in the competition have picked up more victories this term. Their most recent success was a gripping 4-3 victory at home against Borussia Monchengladbach, with Anton Stach netting the winner in second half injury time.
Hoffenheim have won two of their last three matches against Bochum, which includes a 3-1 success in the reverse this term. However, Bochum have landed victories in four of the six Bundesliga clashes between the teams since 2010.
Hoffenheim have been consistent on their travels throughout this season, winning six of their 15 matches. We could see their push for a European position being maintained on Friday by claiming maximum points on the road at Bochum.
