Bochum v Nurnberg betting guide: Not much separates the two teams

Bochum and Nürnberg should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Bochum form and stats

The story so far in the 2. Bundesliga for Bochum, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in 2. Bundesliga, at their home stadium (Vonovia Ruhrstadion) is 0 wins, 5 draws and 0 defeats. Bochum has five consecutive draws when playing at home, an interesting stat.

The Bochum fans got no joy from their last match, a DFB Pokal game also here at Vonovia Ruhrstadion: A 1-2 defeat against Bayern München. Prior to that, an away loss at Holstein Kiel in the 2. Bundesliga.

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 nine matches with the results: Won 2 Drawn 3 Lost 4.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Bochum as they are travelling to their away game against St. Pauli in the 2. Bundesliga. That match is four days after this one.

Bochum are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (13 goals in 5 games). Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Bochum having conceded 13 goals here at Vonovia Ruhrstadion so far.

Nürnberg form and stats

2-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Nürnberg in their 2. Bundesliga matches away.

Nürnberg has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Kaiserslautern for a DFB Pokal game that ended a draw (2-2). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Jahn Regensburg in the 2. Bundesliga.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Nürnberg playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were 6 Nürnberg wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Nürnberg create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 13 goals in 5 travels. The Nürnberg manager D. Canadi has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Bochum 5 wins, 4 draws and Nürnberg 1 victory. As for goals, 4 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 6 games had two or less.
