⚡ Prediction

Our assessment is that Hoffenheim and VfL Bochum should both be able to find the back of the net at least once here although it’s difficult at this stage to select a clear winner.

Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could have goals and the potential for a draw. We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought contest, finishing with a score draw when all is said and done.
