Team News

Hoffenheim
Bochum
  • Grischa Prömel is available after suspension, but Kevin Akpoguma is on the naughty step after picking up his fifth yellow card.
  • Dennis Geiger has problems with his adductors, while Mërgim Berisha and Marco John have suffered ACL injuries and both will be out long-term.
  • Keven Schlotterbeck is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card.
  • Striker Philipp Hofmann has a knock which needs monitoring, while Ivan Ordets has been ruled out "indefinitely" following a thigh injury. Danilo Soares is struggling with a knee injury.
  • Goalkeeper Manuel Riemann and Michael Esser are both struggling with minor injuries, so Niclas Thiede stands by for his Bundesliga debut.

Prediction

  • Hoffenheim are five games without a win in all comps and an impressive five wins out of six away, suffered their first defeat on their travels last weekend in Gladbach.
  • Tougher to beat this season, Bochum have won only twice with the most draws in the league, seven, preventing their season gaining any genuine momentum.
  • Hoffenheim have found the net in every game this term, but their home form leaves alot to be desired with just a single win in six games.
  • Bochum are unbeaten in five games and scored three times for the first time this season in the 3-1 home win vs Wolfsburg.
  • These two shared 12 goals last season in their two meetings with a win apiece, so goals can be expected at both ends.
