The visiting Heidenheim side should be favourites in this visit to Bochum, as the away team holds a 13 point advantage from their 25 league games this season.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Bochum form and stats
When playing at home in the 2. Bundesliga, Bochum, who have the most scored goals (28) at home in 2. Bundesliga, have managed 3 wins, 7 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 13 games.
Bochum manager T. Reis and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Darmstadt 98 (placed 6th) in the 2. Bundesliga. In the match before that, Bochum hosted Sandhausen and drew the game 4-4.
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 ten matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost four.

Heidenheim form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most clean sheets (11) in 2. Bundesliga, on their 2. Bundesliga travels is 4 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats.
Heidenheim had fun at their own home (Vonovia Ruhrstadion) last time out, beating Karlsruher SC 3-1. Tim Kleindienst (2) and Konstantin Kerschbaumer scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Darmstadt 98 wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Heidenheim playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Heidenheim wins, four draws and two defeats.
