Bochum, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Freiburg will have left the Bochum squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 41% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 17 shots on goal.
They have found the net 5 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 15 goals in that same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
A win for Bochum is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Mainz 05, Recent FormMainz 05 will not be too troubled by their 3-1 home defeat against Bayern Munich, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with a 38% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Bayern Munich, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
They have bagged 5 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 17 times in that period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 16 games overall.
The misery continues for Mainz, having not won any of their last 13 games.
On an individual basis, Ludovic Ajorque will be looking to cause Bochum some problems having scored 2 goals in Mainz 05's last 6 away games in the league.
Bochum will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Mainz 05, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 5-2 defeat.
