If we take a look at the Bundesliga table after the first 10 matchdays, we see both teams four points apart. Bochum are in 14th place with a solid 10 points and thus above the line. Should they still not be in the relegation zone after the season, everyone would be happy at the promoted team.

Bochum Form & Balance Check
VfL Bochum can be quite satisfied with their record after the first ten matchdays. The promoted team from the Ruhr region has ten points, which puts coach Thomas’ team in 14th place. VfL’s main goal this season is, of course, to stay in the league. On the last matchday, VfL was beaten 2-1 by Borussia Mönchengladbach despite a very good performance. The last game at home in the Ruhrstadion should be encouraging for the upcoming home game against TSG. A fortnight ago, there was a narrow 2:1 victory against Eintracht from Frankfurt.
Offensive still too harmless
Getting ten points from eight goals is also an art. Nevertheless, it becomes clear here where exactly the bookies’ problems lie. After the injury to goal scorer Simon Zoller (cruciate ligament rupture), there seems to be a bit of a hitch in the offensive. With Sebastian Polter, the promoted team has a brawny striker in its own ranks, but that alone might not be enough to keep the team in the league. In our opinion, it would not be unlikely if Bochum were to become active on the transfer market once again in the winter.
Bochum facts & analysis
– 10 points after 10 matchdays
– Last lost with 1:2 against Gladbach
– Only 8 goals scored
Hoffenheim form & balance check
The Bochum side’s next opponent comes from Hoffenheim. The TSG showed itself quite changeable in the last weeks. If the team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß was able to win a match, the following match was usually followed by a defeat. On the last matchday, they played at home against the Old Lady from Berlin. Against Hertha BSC, 1899 won 2:0. Especially in the offensive, the Kraichgauer showed themselves ice-cold and the fans of 1899 hope for the same effectiveness against VfL Bochum.
Hoffenheim aim high
The TSG from Hoffenheim wants to continue to aim high. With a victory over the promoted team from Bochum, Hoffenheim could finally knock on the door of the international places. The gap to 4th-placed Leverkusen is only three points. TSG’s hopes rest, as they almost always do, in Andrej Kramaric. The Croatian already has six assists after ten match days. Together with the speedy Ihlas Bebou, TSG have a multitude of options on the offensive.
Hoffenheim Facts & Analysis
– 14 points after 10 games
– Last win with 2:0

Predicted line-up – last update on 4 November 2021
The Bochum side want to go with a 4-3-3 in the upcoming match. Löwen, Losilla and Rehxbecaj should get a grip on the midfield. Polter will serve as a target player, Blum and Osano should hit the crosses. The TSG from Hoffenheim will start with the usual 3-5-2. Bebou and Kramaric will play up front.
