VfL Bochum - Union Berlin

After two rounds and the Cup last weekend coming both teams with different success into this encounter. The home team VfL Bochum did very well and they have already 4 Points on their side and with a win they can jump on the top today. Also in Cup they were able to beat 1BL team Stuttgart a good performance above all their counter attacks were great. Their opponent Union Berlin is winless in League, they started with two draws and could not convince much. Additional the cup knock out let them back a bit frustrated. Therefore they are looking forward to get the first win under new Coach Düwel.

Despite the good start and Cup surprise Coach Neururer was not pleased with all but nevertheless they are coming to this match with a lot of self confidence and it is absolutely nonsense to talk how they won the matches. They try to continue their run and why should Neururer change his team after their recent run. The same lineup which played in Aue and against Stuttgart from beginning on is expected. Above all one man stands in the window today, former Union player Terodde. He came from Union this season and has a very good start in Bochum with 5 goals scored already. Of course he is very motivated to scores his 6th goal against his former team mates. But not only he is motivated, also his actual team mates because they want revenge for the big 0-4 defeat from last season.

This is the next attempt for Union to get the first win this season and it also very important to bring the critics to rest. If they continue their winless run it is more as doubtful if new Coach Düwel can work without any pressure in the future. He is getting more and more in focus of the supporters if success fails. For this match he wants to let the defensive line unchanged but in the offensive he plans some changes to the Cup match in Heidenheim. It is very possible that Dausch who was very active after he came in in Heidenheim gets a chance from beginning on while Mattuschka could not use his chance there and should return on bench again. Up front Brandy is key there and start always while his partners could not convince so far. If Skrzybski or Nebihi starts today is very open. It is all up to Coach Düwel on what player he count to begin.
