Bochum, Recent FormAfter a crushing 5-0 away loss to Stuttgart, the Bochum squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. During that encounter they had 40% possession and had 3 attempts on goal with 0 on target, while their opponents hit 9 of their 21 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Thomas 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 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
It's been a mixed run of form for Bochum recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormLast time out, Borussia Dortmund left content aftera 1-0 home win against Cologne Their share of possession in that meeting was 67%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Cologne had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 18 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Edin Terzić will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 5 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 21 games in a row.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Sébastien Haller will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Borussia Dortmund's last 6 league games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
Die Borussen will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 10 encounters with Bochum. When Dortmund visit Die Unabsteigbaren in the league, goals tend to happen, with 6 from their previous 3 encounters and a scoring average of 2 goals per match.
When playing at home in the league, Bochum have failed to win any of their last 5 meetings with Dortmund, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Bochum manager Thomas Letsch has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Matúš Bero (Muscle), Bernardo Fernandes Silva (Knee), Moritz-Broni Kwarteng (Groin), Tim Oermann (Groin) and Mohammed Tolba (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Edin Terzić has a number of injury concerns in his Dortmund squad to contend with: Karim Adeyemi (Muscle), Emre Can (Calf), Julien Duranville (Thigh), Thomas Meunier (Hamstring), Mateu Morey (Muscle), Giovanni Reyna (Ankle) and Nico Schlotterbeck (Knee)
