Relegation threatened Bochum face a crucial match against an opponent with European dreams. The only team in the Bundesliga that has conceded more goals than these two teams is last placed Darmstadt. Bochum are pinning all their hopes on points at home. However, their defense and inability to score is a big problem for them. Hoffenheim have won or lost in their last nine games. Bochum must win this game or they will find it increasingly difficult in the coming weeks.
Personally I think in a normal circumstance the two teams are not in the same level of form and performance this season and looking at their position, Hoffenheim is in a better position because they are currently in the 9th position with 39 points while the home team Bochum are in the 16th position with 27points but since Bochum is looking for a way get out of the relegation zone they can use the advantage of home to steal 3 points from Hoffenheim. With the level of poor performance the Bochum team has recorded in the last 3 matches, it is very difficult to pick Bochum as winners even though they will need the win to keep themselves away from the danger of being relegated, I hink the best result that Bochum can get at home is a draw because Hoffenheim has a stronger team and they have attackers that can score goals on like the home team that's struggling in the defense and the attackers upfront who is finding it difficult to score goals in their matches.
