Wolfsburg vs Bochum Prediction

Wolfsburg form

Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last three games after drawing 2-2 with B. M'gladbach, beating Eintracht Braunschweig1-2 and drawing 2-2 with Bayer Leverkusen. In their last six Bundesliga matches at home, Wolfsburg have one win, while they've drawn four and lost one.

Wolfsburg had their eyes on finishing in the top third of the Bundesliga table, but current form sees them way off track.

Bochum Form

Bochum look back on their last three matches with six points to show from their efforts. Against VfB Stuttgart, they were left empty-handed in a 4-1 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Elversberg in a 0-1 win. They followed that up with a 2-1 win against Union Berlin in their most recent outing. Bochum didn't manage a single away win in their last six Bundesliga matches, but managed zero draws, while suffering six defeats. They conceded 18 and scored six goals themselves.

They were hoping to avoid a relegation-battle this Bundesliga campaign, but current dismal form sees Bochum on course for the drop.

Going forward, Wolfsburg and Bochum are both in decent form, while at the same time being generous in defence. We are confident, both teams will find the back of the net this coming Saturday.
