Bochum and Sandhausen meet at rewirpowerSTADION, in a match for the 3rd round of the 2. Bundesliga. The history of direct matches played in this stadium is favorable to the home team, which in the last 5 matches won 2, drew 2 and lost 1. Indeed, the last time these two teams played a game in this stadium, in 14 -10-2017, for the 2. Bundesliga, Bochum won by (2-0). L. Hinterseer (12 ‘) and K. Stöger (72’) scored the goals for Bochum.
Bochum:
Currently in 9th position, the home team has won 3 points so far. In the 1st round they lost at home against Köln by (0-2). On the following day, the final scoreboard recorded a victory by (0-2) in the visit to the MSV Duisburg. In the last match they played, for DFB Pokal, they lost with Weiche Flensburg out by (1-0). In the last 10 home matches the Bochum has a record of 4 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss. Their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.
The last season was full of ups and downs for Bochum and now he does not want that to happen again, so he expects to have more consistency and regularity to fight for the first places. In the first two rounds he got a victory and a loss, which left him in the middle of the table, but he wants to use the local factor to get a favorable score and climb positions. That being the case, he hopes to show a better performance than in the other two games, since he wants to leave the field with the three points. For this match coach Robin Dutt will not be able to count on Jannik Bandowski, who is in the medical department, and with San Sam, who will serve a suspension.
Sandhausen:
Currently in 18th position, the visiting team did not conquer any points until this moment. In the 1st round lost out to Greuther Fürth by (3-1). On the following day, the final score recorded a loss by (0-3) in the home game against Hamburger SV. In their last match, for the DFB Pokal, they got a win against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen by (0-6). In the last 10 away matches Sandhausen has won 3, tied 2 and lost 5.
No doubt the Sandhausen had a big scare last season, as he came to fight against the decline, being that in no way wants to go through that again. On the other hand, he knows that he will have a hard reality in the championship if he continues as he is, because he had two defeats in the initial rounds and knows that he needs a recovery as quickly as possible. To make it a reality, he hopes to have control of the duel, not to give opportunities to his opponent, scoring strong and attacking when possible, because this is the clearest way to obtain a positive result, that is, victory. For this game coach Kenan Kocak will not be able to count on Tim Knipping, who is in the medical department.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.70
