Game Preview
On Saturday, we will have a very exciting match between two teams that couldn’t pick up a victory in the opening week of the 2022-23 Bundesliga season. Hoffenheim and VfL Bochum will both be aiming to bounce back when they face off at PreZero Arena in Sinsheim. Hoffenheim suffered a 3-1 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach, while Bochum went down 2-1 at home to Mainz 05.
Despite being one of the few teams capable of taking down Bayern Munich throughout the 2021-22 season, Bochum is the favorite team to relegate down to the 2nd division this season. During the off-season, Bochum transferred Sebastian Polter to Schalke 04, one of the recently promoted teams, and Armel Bella-Kotchap to Premier League’s Southampton. This upcoming season things are looking really rough for this team.
Bochum also won just four times on their travels in the 2021-22 Bundesliga season, but one of those successes was a 2-1 triumph on Hoffenheim’s turf, and the visitors also got the better of Die Kraichgauer 2-1 on their own turf in a memorable double.
Now looking at Hoffenheim, following a discouraging end to the 2021-22 season, their winless run in the top flight of German football now stands at 10 matches, and the fixtures hardly get easier for Breitenreiter’s side. Hoffenheim are now under pressure to snap their five-game winless run at home in the Bundesliga, with their most recent success at the PreZero Arena coming against Stuttgart back in February.
Going up against Bochum, which is one of the absolute weakest teams in the Bundesliga might be exactly what Hoffenheim needs to break the curse. There are a couple of important changes to consider for Hoffenheim. Their defender Posch will take his place on the bench this week following his sending off in the defeat to Monchengladbach, which should open the door for Stanley Nsoki to start alongside Ozan Kabak and Kevin Vogt.
