Team News

Bochum
Augsburg
  • Patrick Osterhage suffered a muscle injury in the warmup last weekend and remains a doubt. Moritz Broschinski and Kevin Stöger missed last weekend due to illness but should return to contention. Mohammed Tolba is ruled out long term with a knee injury.
  • Jeffrey Gouweleeuw is available after suspension, but Arne Engels is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card last weekend. Goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz is struggling with a shoulder injury, and Julian Baumgartlinger twisted his knee last weekend and is ruled out for the season.
  • Tobias Strobl might be forced to retire after an ACL injury, while Andre Hahn also suffered a serious knee injury, but is expected to return to training soon.

Prediction

  • A genuine relegation six-pointer where Bochum who sit one off the bottom can close to within three points of Augsburg with a win.
  • Beleaguered Bochum are without a win in six games and field the most porous defence in the whole league with 69 goals conceded.
  • Never relegated from the Bundesliga, Augsburg have not helped their cause by letting slip a league high 23 points from winning positions, but took a huge step towards securing their status with their first win in eight games last weekend. All of Augsburg's nine wins this season are by a single goal margin.
  • Bochum have proved half decent on home soil with six wins already, and can do the double over Augsburg after winning the reverse fixture 1-0.
