Bochum and Osnabrück meet in a friendly during the break, with no points at stake for either side. The hosts' last match ended in a 1-2 league defeat, while the visitors had just thrashed their opponents 3-0 in a warm-up game, so they come in with quite different moods. Bochum remain inconsistent, winning two of their last five but never by more than a single goal. Their attack is laboured and their finishing is not sharp, while Osnabrück score more but concede plenty too. Their defence leaves gaps often, so much so that they conceded three in their last league defeat. If Bochum dominate possession and control the tempo as expected, the game will likely open cautiously in the first half rather than all-out attack, then pick up in the second half when both sides make changes and open up more.
