Form, Standings, Stats

We said: Hoffenheim 2-1 VfL Bochum

Confidence is hardly sky-high in either camp right now, but Bochum should at least take some inspiration from their pair of victories over Hoffenheim in the 2021-22 season, and Reis's side will need such motivation to carry them over the line amid their fresh injury problems. Breitenreiter will have also been forced to rethink tactically for Saturday's contest, but the hosts boast the more potent attacking options, and we can picture them emerging victorious by a narrow margin.
