Bochum Preview – Can Bochum avoid third defeat on trot?
Monday night’s hosts, Bochum, have actually lost 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the 2 Bundesliga having suffered defeats to Greuther Furth, Jahn Regensburg and Arminia Bielefeld, a poor sequence of results which has left the hosts sitting third from bottom in the division and in the relegation play-off spot.
There is a glimmer of hope for Bochum though as they return to their Vonovia Ruhrstadion as the home side have suffered just 1 defeat all season to date amidst an overall solid looking home record of 3-6-1 23/19 which includes wins against Nurnberg, Erzgebirge Aue and Hannover.
However, 2 of these 3 wins were recorded against teams who also occupy positions in the bottom half of the German second tier, while their last meeting against Hamburg ended in a 1-0 defeat away from home back in August.
Hamburg Preview – Can Hamburg move into top two?
Either a win or draw here on Monday night against struggling Bochum would be enough to send Hamburg into the top two of the 2 Bundesliga and one of the automatic promotion spots in the German second tier, and having put together a 3-match unbeaten run prior to this clash, the visitors look well placed for further success here.
Points picked up on the road in 1-1 and 2-2 draws at Sandhausen and Darmstadt respectively along with a resounding 4-1 home win over Nurnberg have helped get Hamburg’s push for automatic promotion back on track following recent back-to-back defeats to Osnabruck and Heidenheim.
Hamburg also possess a steady and solid (if uninspiring) away record of 2-6-2 17/14 which is very draw-centric but has proved that Hamburg are a hard team to beat on the road, and indeed, they’ve lost just 4 of their last 15 matches on their travels in the 2 Bundesliga.
