Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Bochum - Greuther Fürth!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Bochum form and stats
Bochum must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three 2. Bundesliga games here at Vonovia Ruhrstadion.
Happy days for Bochum in their previous game, a 2. Bundesliga match away at Würzburger Kickers (placed 18th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. Ahead of that match, Bochum won a home game hosting Erzgebirge Aue (2-0).
This is expected to be a close game, with Bochum perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bochum as a small favourite), we find ten games. Bochum has won five of these, drawn three and lost two.
The Bochum fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. From these home matches, Bochum have conceded only 2 goals.
Greuther Fürth form and stats
Greuther Fürth are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the 2. Bundesliga, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).
Greuther had fun at their own home (Vonovia Ruhrstadion) last time out, beating Hannover 96 4-1. Julian Green, Branimir Hrgota (2) and Paul Seguin scored. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-1 at Holstein Kiel.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Greuther Fürth playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were zero Greuther wins, six draws and three defeats.
Greuther Fürth have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 6 goals from 3 away matches. 4 goals have been conceded by Greuther Fürth in these games.
