Team News

Bochum
FC Koln
  • Matús Bero is struggling with a knee injury, while Ivan Ordets has been ruled out "indefinitely" following a serious muscle injury.
  • Jacob Christensen is nearing a return from a muscle tear, while back up keeper Philipp Pentke has a knee injury. Mathias Olesen is available after suspension.

Prediction

  • Bochum picked up their first win of the season last Friday, but hapless Koln languish at the bottom with only a solitary win, failing to keep a clean sheet in 18 games.
  • Shot-shy Koln have only managed to score eight goals, the fewest in the league, but Bochum have only have 10 themselves, the second fewest.
  • In a genuine relegation six-pointer, back the home side to edge to victory with goals at both ends - inexplicably.
