Bochum, Recent FormBochum will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Augsburg. During that encounter they had 45% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 19 shots on goal.
Supremo Thomas Letsch will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 6 goals they've managed to net. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 15 league matches.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Bochum recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games. With 10 defeats across 15 games in the league this season, their form has been very disappointing.
Hertha BSC, Recent FormHertha BSC will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-0 win in their home outing against Köln. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target. Köln had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 15 league games.
They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.
Dodi Lukébakio has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Bochum.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Die Alte Dame will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Bochum. Die Unabsteigbaren have struggled to break down the Hertha defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Playing at home, Bochum have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Hertha. When Hertha visit Die Unabsteigbaren in the league, goals tend to happen, with 7 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2.33 goals per match.
When playing at home, Bochum have lost the last 3 times they've faced Hertha in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters.
Bochum manager Thomas Letsch has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Michael Esser (Knock), Paul Grave (Shoulder), Gerrit Holtmann (Knee), Saidy Janko (Broken nose) and Konstantinos Stafylidis (Rib) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Sandro Schwarz has a number of injury concerns in his Hertha squad to contend with: Chidera Ejuke (Knee), Jessic Ngankam (Knee), Florian Niederlechner (Knock) and Kélian Nsona (Cruciate ligament)
