Bochum and Bielefeld meet in a league game where neither side has found its rhythm. Bochum won their most recent match, but before that they looked shaky, while Bielefeld have not won any of their last five league games, drawing their last two. This is therefore a match where both sides want the full three points. Bochum have scored only 5 goals in 6 games this season, but have conceded just 6, a team that does not play flashy football but rarely falls apart. Bielefeld, in the same number of games, have scored 10 but conceded 12, with a clearly leaky defence, especially early in matches, where they have conceded 24% of all the goals they have let in. If Bochum push forward from the start, Bielefeld will likely drop back and defend, waiting to counter into the spaces the hosts leave behind, a pattern that has helped Bielefeld pick up points often of late.
