MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN
Bochum conceded three goals within ten minutes in the second half to fall to a disappointing 3-1 league defeat away from home against fellow mid-table side Bielefeld at Schuco Arena in the last round. It was the side’s fifth league loss in 2019 along with two wins and one draw. Robin Dutt’s men are in ninth spot, 11 points above the drop zone but also 13 points below the top three. They are equally average when it comes to their home league form, with seven wins, one draw and five losses.
Hamburg were beaten for the first time in the league at Volkspark Stadium in 2019 last time out, letting a two-goal lead slip to crash to a heavy 3-2 defeat against Darmstadt. The team had won five and drawn three of their eight home league fixtures beforehand, but away from home they have been less convincing recently, winning only one of their last five league outings, along with one draw and three defeats.
Bochum have not been great since the beginning of the year and given Hamburg’s top-flight ambitions, I can see the visitors returning home with all three points here.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO - HIGH
Bochum’s home league matches have seen 36 league goals in total - or 2.8 total goals on average - this season, with 20 of those being scored by the home side. Moreover, Hamburg have scored seven times in their last three road trips in league action. I can see this ending in a high score.
HEAD TO HEAD
The only league meeting between Bochum and Hamburg since 2010 ended goalless in the reverse league fixture back in October.
