Greuther Fürth - VfL Bochum

This match has a clear trend when Fürth hosts Bochum today. The home team has a great run and is absolutely in form right now while Bochum was on great run to begin but failed to win one of the last 4. Fürth was celebrating 4 wins in a row lately and is really on fire and aiming for their 5th of course. On the other side Bochum had 5 wins to begin but in the following matches they were not as clinical as they were to begin. The former leaders Bochum could fall down with a lose to place 4 and out of the promotion tier.

It is not surprising that in Fürth talk all from a momentum and they know that other times arrive there sooner or later. At the moment they are riding on a wave of euphoria and they want to be on this as long as they can of course. Additional was mentioned that one year ago Fürth had a great start too but was in danger almost until the end of the Season. The team has to improve from game to game and make some step forward in their trend. They have to be hungry for more and aiming for the most possible outcome this Season.
The last game to Braunschweig was excellent and they won against a direct rival 1-0. The self confidence is very good but nevertheless they have to changes a bit the starting lineup. According to news have they both offensive player with Berisha and Stiepermann doubtful. This is not the best sign because both were in great shape and pushed the team really well. But they have some good players in hand which can handle this lose maybe. In midfield gets Weilandt the place from Stiepermann who is not the worst one and he can make the difference in any game with his fast moves and good actions. In attack they have with Kumbela a very experienced player who replace Berisha. Despite his average form lately he should help the team. Also not available is Trinks due to illness.

Bochum travelled to Fürth as second placed team at the moment and they hope that they can turn things around in this top clash against 4th placed Fürth. But they know that all is possible in this close league and if they not able to bring all their power on the pitch it would be hard to win matches. They want the maximum here and therefore they are very focused and have a lot to play for anyway.
Compared to the last game Coach Verbeek does not think to make many changes. He is more a Coach who counts on a clear starting lineup only if anyone is not available or ready he changes. Also he is anyway very calming person with a lot of experience and he knows exactly what to do. He wants to send the same starting lineup on the pitch which lost to Kaiserslautern one week ago. The only change is the return from Petrel on the left back wing instead of Wijnaldum. He trusts his team, also average playing defender Cacutalua who replace injured Bastians at the moment but showed some weakness against Kaiserslautern. On bench he has some good replacements ready with Simunek and Weis, both returned from injury and maybe need still time to be at 100% but Eisfeld and Mlapa makes some pressure on the other guys.
