Bochum vs Augsburg Prediction

Bochum Form

In their last three matches, Bochum lost 1-5 against Wolfsburg, drew 1-1 with B. Dortmund, before losing to B. M'gladbach by 2-0. Bochum only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Vonovia Ruhrstadion in the Bundesliga. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored five and conceded 13 goals.

They went into the season as candidates for the drop, and unfortunately for Bochum, they have lived up to expectations. As the season draws to a close, they are still in with a chance of escaping relegation, though.

Augsburg Form

In their last three matches, Augsburg drew 1-1 with VfB Stuttgart, 1-1 with Eintracht and beat Union Berlin by 1-0. Augsburg came through their last six away games in the Bundesliga without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew two and lost four in which, they were outscored by 16 goals to nine.

Both Bochum and visitors Augsburg seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.

Bochum won nine points from their last eight encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won three, scored 15 and let in 18 goals. Augsburg claimed two wins from seven goals scored and 12 conceded from their past nine matches against teams placed in the bottom six. This handed them eight points to their account. Bochum are looking at a record of eight wins, four draws and 19 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Augsburg so far pulled off nine wins, seven draws and 15 defeats in the Bundesliga.
