Did you know that…
…TSG could celebrate a first?
Hoffenheim have never previously won both games against VfL Bochum in one Bundesliga season. After the win in the reverse fixture, they could finally succeed at the fifth attempt.
…there is virtually zero chance of a draw?
The two clubs have already gone head-to-head in the Bundesliga nine times – there has never been a draw. Bochum have won five clashes, while TSG have triumphed four times.
…Bochum urgently need a victory?
VfL are without a win in eight rounds of Bundesliga matches and are therefore on the longest streak without a victory of any team in the league. That run has seen Bochum drop to 16th place in the table.
…VfL actually always score at home?
Bochum have always scored at least one goal in their last 21 Bundesliga home games and are thus on the longest run of any club. Should VfL score on Friday, they would equal a club record from the 1970s.
