Bochum, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 5-2 away defeat by Mainz 05, Bochum manager Thomas Letsch will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Mainz 05's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Letsch will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Vonovia Ruhrstadion, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 16 of their 18 league matches this season.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Vonovia Ruhrstadion, marks a good spell of home form for Arsenal. It has been a particularly poor run of form in the league, having racked up 12 defeats in 18 games.
Philipp Hofmann will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Vonovia Ruhrstadion, having notched up 5 goals for Bochum in their last 6 league matches at home.
1899 Hoffenheim, Recent Form1899 Hoffenheim manager André Breitenreiter will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-1 home defeat by Borussia Mönchengladbach. They came away from that fixture with a 50% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Borussia Mönchengladbach, who managed 9 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
They have bagged 8 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 18 times in that period. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
A win for 1899 Hoffenheim is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for 1899 Hoffenheim, Robert Skov will be looking to add more goals against Bochum in this match.
