Bochum, Recent FormThomas Letsch will have some work to do building up his players after their 5-1 home thrashing at the hands of Wolfsburg. They came away from that fixture with 54% of the possession and clocked up 23 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Wolfsburg managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Letsch will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 25 of their 29 league games.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Vonovia Ruhrstadion, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Kevin Stöger will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Bochum's last 6 league games.
Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Borussia Dortmund racked up a stunning 4-0 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Eintracht Frankfurt's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 19 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 15 games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
On an individual basis, Donyell Malen is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Borussia Dortmund's last 6 league games
A defeat for Bochum in their last match against Borussia Dortmund was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
Die Borussen will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Bochum, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 9 meetings between the two. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Dortmund have shown they know their way around the Die Unabsteigbaren defence having scored 13 times against them in those 5 matches.
In the league, Bochum has not won any of the last 4 times they have welcomed Dortmund to Vonovia Ruhrstadion.
With only Marko Johansson (Muscle) and Keven Schlotterbeck (Hip) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Thomas Letsch will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Edin Terzić has a number of injury concerns in his Dortmund squad to contend with: Julien Duranville (Thigh), Anthony Modeste (Knock), Mateu Morey (Meniscus), Nico Schlotterbeck (Hip) and Niklas Süle (Thigh)
