VfL Bochum - VfR Aalen

When VfR Aalen arrived for the first time to Bochum’s Ruhr Stadium about eleven month ago, it was a big surprise as the newcomer won with 1-0 there. Since the team from Aalen has collected a few Points on the road this season already, they travelling with a lot of optimism in the bag to the Ruhr. All is well at Aalen according to their lastest results and they are looking forward to this game. Sportmanager Markus Schupp gave the mood in Aalen’s team again. But overall VfL Bochum after a very weak start into the season could convince in their recent matches too. They won away 2-0 against previous unbeaten Fürth and got for sure a lot of self confidence out of this match. According to the resutls on Friday evening the team from Peter Neururer wants to use the opportunity and climb up to 3rd place with a win. This is not the only reason for three points in this encounter, Coach Neururer mentioned also that they want to build up a home fortress. In this case he would not be statisfied with only one Point here. He said also that home wins are the key to establish his team in the upper table region to which VfL Bochum belongs to the self.

But all in all not an easy task but they showed really good play at home but need also a lot of chances for their scoring and in defensive sometimes with to many mistakes that allow easy goals. Nevertheless some problems arrived already before the match as with Florian Jungwirth an important player is not available. He suffer some injury today. Also Piotr Cwielong could not train completely and do all of the trainings programm. The 27 years old wing, who scored his first goal against Fürth last weekend has some problems in the area of the neck. However Neururer assumes that the polish guy can play. The vacanted place from Jungwirth in central midfield can be filled with Zahirovic where Coach Neururer gives the bosnian player his starting debut. Otherwise nothing will change in the successful formation from the last two matches. The other guys who are out: DEF Butscher, DEF Bastians, DEF Sinkewicz, MID Tiffert

The guests has not problems so far, Coach Ruthenbeck can count on all of his players, only Andre Hainault has suffered an injury in training this week. As the canadian national player has so far been used only a few minutes, no changes must be made and the usual system from 4-3-3 what is known from Aalen can be practiced.

Although Aalen plays a very offensive minded system they are very strong in defensive and they play really well on their counter attacks where with striker Lechleitner who will be supported from both wings from Klauß and Valentini can use the space to hurt Bochum here. Of course Bochum at home always good for goals but they allowed in every match so far. Much more important can be the miss from in great shape playing Jungwirth who was the central person in Bochums play and he push his team additional. Do not know who can replace him on the same level.
