Augsburg vs Bochum Prediction & Tips
Augsburg, after their victory in the twelfth day of the Bundesliga against Bayern Munich, managed to rescue a point against Hertha Berlin in their last game (1-1), which could be vital, considering that they are also a team that is struggling for permanence. The home team can reach all three Bundesliga games in a row without losing for the first time since last October, as they seek to leave the relegation playoff spot.
A return to the WWK Arena could prove crucial for the home team as the “Fuggerstädter” remain undefeated in their last four Bundesliga matches at home (W3, E1), while they could claim their third consecutive home win in the first division for the first time since December 2019. That result could also see Augsburg overtake Bochum in the table, although they have not won any of their last 14 Bundesliga matches at home against newly promoted teams (E8, P6) – the longest such streak in competition history.
However, Augsburg will not have everything going for them against a Bochum that has shown great determination and character to recover from the club’s heaviest defeat in the Bundesliga (7-0 against Bayern Munich), which occurred on matchday five. . Only two teams have added more points than Bochum in the last six matchdays G4, P2), which has contributed to the team having added 75% of its points this season and coming out of the relegation places.
Bochum will have to improve away from home, as only one team has scored fewer points away (W1, P6) before this day. That poor record on rival soil is caused, in part, by his scoring only three goals away from his stadium – the lowest amount in the league – and all of them, after the 75th minute.
Players to watch: Florian Niederlechner has scored all three of his goals in the Bundesliga this season playing at home, with the last two coming in Augsburg victories. On his side, Miloš Pantović scored a goal from long range that meant victory in Bochum’s latest win, while his only double in professional football came against Augsburg in DFB-Pokal this season.
Highlight: The team that scored first has won the last nine Bundesliga games played by Bochum on the road.
