Bochum Form & Balance Check
Bochum are playing a really very good season by their standards and the 13 points after 12 matchdays are more than their own fans had expected. On the last matchday, they had to play a difficult away game against the Werkself from Leverkusen. In the end, Bochum were beaten 0:1 and the result did not necessarily reflect VfL’s performance on the pitch. Bochum suffered a setback early on in the game, but coach Thomas Reis’s team still put in an impeccable performance. To make matters worse, Bochum were unlucky with one or two of the referee’s decisions.
Form curve pointed upwards
Compared to the promoted team from Fürth, Bochum have the necessary luck on the one hand and the higher individual class on the other. Nevertheless, the 13 points should not be taken for granted. Especially at home in the Ruhrstadion, the Bochum team has been very convincing so far. Opponents such as Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt have been beaten here. With the help of their own fans, Bochum can also bring SC Freiburg to their knees.
Bochum facts & analysis
– Three wins from last five games
– Last lost 0:1 against Leverkusen
– Already beaten Frankfurt and Hoffenheim at home
Freiburg form & balance check
For a long time, Freiburg were the only team in German professional football still unbeaten. Then there was the appearance at the German record champion from Munich and in the Allianz Arena Streich’s players delivered a good fight, but still had to admit defeat in the end with 1:2. The last matchday then brought the clash with Frankfurt Eintracht. Against the Hessians, the Sport-Club did not necessarily have its best day and a 0:2 defeat was therefore the logical consequence. We can be very curious to see how and if the Freiburg team will get their act together against Bochum.
Not the 3rd defeat in a row
The fact that Freiburg are still in 3rd place despite two defeats in a row shows how well they have really started the new season. Against Bochum, they now want to score three points again and stop the negative run. The Freiburg team knows how important this game is and coach Christian Streich will be preparing them accordingly. If the Sport-Club can even come close to normal form here, then they can also win here.
