Since last week there’s war in Ukraine and therefore in the middle of Europe. Numerous people are fleeing, others have already fallen victim to the war. Families are separated and there is unimaginable suffering. VfL Bochum 1848 is shocked by the events and takes a clear stand on this issue. It condemns the Russian invasion and expresses its solidarity with Ukraine and its people. Bochum and Ukraine have a special connection. VfL has been twinned with Donetsk for 35 years.

Head coach Enrico Maaßen made one change to the starting line-up following last weekend’s 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. Maximilian Bauer came into the XI as FCA lined up with a back-three, with Mergim Berisha starting on the bench on his return from injury.

Timo Werner was played through on goal by Amadou Haidara, but his chip over the onrushing Mark Flekken was wide of the mark (5’).  The Germany international then fired an attempt from a similar position over the bar via a small deflection. “We had some luck at the start,” commented Streich after full time. “Sometimes you just can’t defend against things when they’re so well played-out.”

Pál Dárdai made six changes to the team that started the home game against Bremen, setting up the side in a 4-4-2. Jonjoe Kenny, Filip Uremović and Agustín Rogel came into the team for Peter Pekarík (dropped to the bench), Márton Dárdai (injured) and Marc Kempf (suspended) and made up the back-four with Marvin Plattenhardt. Maximilian Mittelstädt, Jean-Paul Boëtius and Florian Niederlechner also came into the starting eleven for Marco Richter (also injured), Tolga Ciğerci and Derry Scherhant, who both dropped to the bench.
