Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Augsburg in Bundesliga competition, VfL Bochum and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In as many as 5 out of the previous 6 games featuring VfL Bochum, at least three goals have been hit. The average number of goals per match within that spell is 3.5, with the average number of goals for VfL Bochum working out to 1. It will be interesting to see if that trend can be sustained here.

🗞️ Team News: Werder Bremen

Derrick Köhn (Ankle problems) and Milos Veljkovic (muscular problems) won’t be able to feature for Werder Bremen gaffer Ole Werner.

It’s our opinion that Werder will possibly use a 3-5-2 system for this game, utilising Michael Zetterer, Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl, Amos Pieper, Mitchell Weiser, Jens Stage, Senne Lynen, Romano Schmid, Felix Agu, Oliver Burke and Marvin Ducksch.

ℹ️ Team News: VfL Bochum

Thanks to a mainly available squad, there’s just the one fitness worry for the VfL Bochum gaffer Dieter Hecking to be concerned about. Koji Miyoshi (Torn muscle fiber) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that Bochum will likely begin the game with a 3-5-2 system, choosing Timo Horn, Tim Oermann, Jakov Medic, Bernardo, Felix Passlack, Mats Pannewig, Ibrahima Sissoko, Tom Krauss, Maximilian Wittek, Giorgos Masouras and Philipp Hofmann.

🧠 Prediction

In this game, VfL Bochum will have to play really well to score against a Werder Bremen lineup who have the capability to boss most aspects of this game if it turns out as we expect.

We’re going for a 3-0 winning scoreline for Werder Bremen after 90 minutes.
