Bochum form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Vonovia Ruhrstadion as Bochum have scored 21 goals to get 20 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the 2. Bundesliga are 6-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
It's back home for Bochum, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Osnabrück away with the result 2-1. Simon Zoller and Anthony Losilla found the net in that victory. Heartbreak before that as Bochum lost 0-4 at RB Leipzig's place.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Bochum matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, one draw and zero defeats (from one game).
Bochum can score goals in their home matches. After 10 league matches they have found the net 21 times. From these home matches, Bochum have conceded only 8 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Eintracht Braunschweig form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Eintracht Braunschweig, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in 2. Bundesliga, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in eleven away games in a row.
The manager D. Meyer was unhappy after their last game, a 2. Bundesliga match played at their home ground Eintracht-Stadion. Eintracht Braunschweig suffered a 1-2 loss to Hannover 96 (placed 5th). A 1-3 defeat away at Holstein Kiel before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Braunschweig playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and one home win.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Braunschweig as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Braunschweig concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
