Struggling Sandhausen will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Bochum in the upcoming league round. It’s 15th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Sandhausen has the fewest scored goals in the second half (6) in 2. Bundesliga
- Bochum has the fewest conceded goals (16) in 2. Bundesliga
Sandhausen and Bochum 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.
