Bochum
Borussia M.Gladbach

Prediction

  • Gladbach simply must improve after languishing in the bottom half for much of last season, finishing just a point above Bochum.
  • Perennial strugglers Bochum survived the drop last season with a remarkable relegation playoff turnaround in the second leg against Fortuna Düsseldorf.
  • In their opener, "The Foals" showed great resolve to fight back from 0-2, before slipping to a last-gasp Rhein derby defeat against champions Leverkusen conceding in the 100th minute.
  • Only a point seperated the two sides last season, but Gladbach won both meetings last season (3-1, 5-2) and can do the business once again.
