Bochum form and stats
Bochum, who have the the best goal difference (+21) in 2. Bundesliga, have performed here at Vonovia Ruhrstadion this season with 8 wins from 12 2. Bundesliga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 2. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Vonovia Ruhrstadion.
Bochum are returning here after visiting Greuther Furth in a 2. Bundesliga game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Robert Žulj and Anthony Losilla scored the goal(s). Before that, Bochum had a home game versus Wurzburger Kickers which ended with a victory 3-0.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Bochum have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won five, drawn three and lost three.
Bochum can score goals in their home matches. After 12 league matches they have found the net 26 times. From these home matches, Bochum have conceded only 8 goals.
Hamburger SV form and stats
The visitors, who have the most scored goals (48) in 2. Bundesliga, are W5-D4-L3 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Bundesliga. Hamburger seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Hamburger's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Holstein Kiel that finished 1-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against St. Pauli wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hamburger playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one Hamburger SV win, zero draws and two defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Hamburger's attacking play in away games, having scored 22 goals in 12 league matches away. Hamburger have conceded 19 goals in these games.
