Bochum vs Sandhausen Match Preview

Bochum is ranked at the 14th place with 26 points. They are finally out of the relegation zone but nothing is sure yet, as they sit just two points above it. Still, in the last five matches their form has not been that great with just two wins and three loses, but luckily for them, winning the recent duel against a direct rival like Dynamo Dresden helped them climb in ranks.

Now they will try to get another positive result since they play at home where they earned most of their points this season. Here they also scored 24 goals in 12 games, averaging two goals per game. Coming after three consecutive loses will surely be enough motivation to try and turn things around.

Sandhausen, on the other hand, is ranked at the 12th place with 27 points. They come in an awful form as they lost the last four matches in a row and dropped so much in ranks that they see themselves only three points above the relegation zone. Another loss here would mean risking losing more terrain.

They have to avoid a loss at all costs, so I guess we will see them put up a fight to earn at least a point. The previous h2h game this season ended in a 1-1 draw, so maybe splitting points once again could suit them both considering the bad situation they are in.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score a goal today. Bochum play in front of their fans and know this is their chance to try and stay as far as possible from the relegation zone, while Sandhausen after the recent performances have to change something if they want to play in this league the next season. Otherwise things will get really complicated.
