The 2-0 away defeat to Mainz 05 will not have sat easily with the Bochum squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 15 shots on goal.  

Manager Thomas Letsch will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 16 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 8 goals they managed at the other end.   Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 19 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 22 of their 26 games overall.  

They will be looking to try and improve on a largely bad set of recent results that have seen them defeated in 4 of their last 6 league matches, with just a single victory recorded. It's fair to say they'll need a serious change of form if they want to start moving up the table.

Darmstadt 98 will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with Bayern Munich in which they suffered a 5-2 home defeat.  In that game they had 24% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Bayern Munich who had 27 attempts and 6 on target.  

Despite scoring 4 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 16 goals in that same period.  So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 24 of their 26 games.  

The misery continues for Darmstadt, having not won any of their last 19 games.  

Away from home in the league, Tim Skarke has given the Darmstadt 98 travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
