VfL Bochum - SC Paderborn

Hope to see the same again today !!!

Home side plays their weakest season ever in 2.BL so far and they need points to get out of the trouble but it is not such easy as expected. They play not so bad but had problems above all at home if they force a lot but on the other side they conceded goals and lose then. Sure the win in Dresden was very important for them but Dresden is absolutely out of form at the moment. If they want continue this way they have to win this one too. It seems that it is not such obvious as Paderborn are on a losing run at the moment but if you compare their home performances with their away, they were by far better on the road and they collected a lot more points there. Their style of play is more counter attacks as with some players in their rows they have excellent weapons for this.

VfL coach Neitzel's aim was that he can get 20 points till the break but it is needed a win now. It would be not as easy as it looks because Paderborn is known for their good defensive play and therefore Bochum must have some good ideas and also play much faster to overcome them. Not many changes expected compared to the match in Dresden, only Maltritz come in as central back while Iashvili is an option in offensive but if he plays maybe Dedic is out and on bench then. 

Paderborn played not such bad against Hertha but lost 0-1. They made a good game but were very unlucky infront of the goal as they did not score. Maybe it would be a bit better today as Bochum sure allow some situations more as Hertha did. Coach Schmidt was not much angry about the performance although they lose. He has to replace an important player with Bertels and maybe Krösche who was ill under the week today. If Krösche is only on bench Vrancic plays for him and also important keeper Kruse is back after suspension. For Bertels maybe Kempe move back and therefore some of the bench players like Hoffmann or Naki can hopes for starting today.

What to say here, very close in my eyes as Bochum has some problems above all against deep standing teams and they push a lot but forget the defensive and therefore they are always prone to concede goals as they open to much. As Paderborn is a solid away side in the past and they conceded not much it can be that they can get here anything and I am very keen on them here.

Recommend Bet: SC Paderborn AHC +0,25 @ 1,90 (3 Units)
