Team Analysis
Coming off a 1-0 setback against Wolfsburg last weekend, Bochum is on an eight-match winless streak in the Bundesliga, tallying six losses and two draws. Their last league triumph dates back to February 18, 2024, with a thrilling 3-2 victory at home against Bayern Munich. Despite this, Bochum has managed to stay undefeated in their last two home league fixtures, albeit settling for draws.

After a thrilling 4-3 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend, Hoffenheim aims to maintain this momentum. Despite this recent success, their record is modest with only two wins in their last six league matches and four defeats. As they look ahead, an ongoing three-match away league winless streak places additional pressure on Hoffenheim.

Head-to-Head
In their last six encounters, Bochum secured four victories while Hoffenheim took two wins. The teams netted a total of 24 goals in these head-to-head matches, with Bochum contributing 14 and Hoffenheim 10.

Hoffenheim's last league win against Bochum stands at 3-1. However, their record on Bochum's turf has been less impressive, with no victories in their last three league visits.

Additionally, five out of their last six Bundesliga showdowns witnessed more than 2.5 goals.

Odds Analysis
While Bochum may boast a historical edge, this factor could be irrelevant given Hoffenheim's current league form and position. Bochum's form on home turf speaks volumes to their current confidence, especially being winless in their last four matches. On the contrary, Hoffenheim has also suffered defeats in their past three league appearances away.

However, Hoffenheim has shown better form overall this season, securing six victories out of 15 away matches. Thus, backing them to clinch this match seems plausible at 2.95 odds.

Considering the past engagements where five out of the six most recent head-to-head matches culminated in more than 2.5 goals, backing Over 2.5 goals appears to be a calculated bet. It is expected that both teams' forwards will adopt an aggressive approach. The odds and analysis point firmly towards this as a sound selection, with set odds of 1.50.


Pick: Over 2.5 goals
