Match facts ahead of #BMGWOB Everything to know ahead of Sunday’s home game against VfL Wolfsburg...

Head coach Ole Werner will be without four players in the final training session ahead of the away match against Borussia Mönchengladbach (17/3 20:30 CET). While Marco Friedl, Leonardo Bittencourt and Christian Groß are still absent due to illness, Milos Veljkovic is out with muscular problems.

Markus Gellhaus (Assistant Manager VfL Bochum 1848):

Jeffrey Gouweleeuw: “I don’t know if everyone was aware of how important this game was. A win could have put us in a situation whereby we no longer would need to keep an eye on the competition. Our performance today was not good enough, and we weren’t able to get back into the game after they took the lead. Now we need to take a look at ourselves and pick up some more vital points.”
