Betting on VfL Bochum 1848
VfL Bochum is striving for consistent positive results to escape from the bottom of the overall Bundesliga standings. They ended 2022 with two victories in a row, and that’s undoubtedly encouraging; however, given that there was no activity in Germany for two months, it is uncertain whether they will be able to perform at a same level when play resumes.
The team now has four wins, one draw and 10 losses in 15 games and is ranked #17 in the overall standings. Their main mistakes have been in defense, as Bochum is currently the team with the most goals conceded, with 36.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Manuel Riemann; Saidy Janko, Ivan Ordets, Keven Schlotterbeck, Danilo Soares; Philipp Forster, Anthony Losilla, Kevin Stoger; Takuma Asano, Philipp Hofmann, Christopher Antwi-Adjei.
Betting on Hertha Berlin
Since there is only one point separating Hertha Berlin and their opponents after them in the table, they cannot claim victory. The team is now ranked #15 with 14 points after 15 games with three wins, five ties, and seven losses.
In their most recent game, they broke a losing streak of three games in a row by defeating Cologne 2-0. The team has struggled to win on the road, with only one victory in seven games, along with five losses and three draws. They have not won an away game since September, and during that period, they suffered three losses and one tie.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Oliver Christensen; Jonjoe Kenny, Agustin Rogel, Marc Kempf, Marvin Planttenhardt; Marco Richter, Lucas Tousart, Ivan Sunkic, Jean-Paul Boëtius; Wilfried Kanga, Dodi Lukebakio.
JefeBet Prediction
With the pressure on both teams at the moment, the match is anyone’s game. In their most recent Bundesliga meeting, the sides played to a 1-1 draw in February 2022, but this match could have a favorable scoreline for Bochum, which has three consecutive home wins this campaign.
Prediction: VfL Bochum win by a score of 2-1.
