Bochum, Recent FormBochum manager Thomas Letsch will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 5-2 away defeat by B. M'gladbach. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to B. M'gladbach who had 22 attempts and 6 on target.
Letsch is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 9 goals scored. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have been performing well at Vonovia Ruhrstadion recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
RB Leipzig, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Bayern Munich will have left the RB Leipzig squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they recorded 43 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 17 shots on goal.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Marco Rose will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 11 goals they scored. They have scored in 10 of their 11 away games this season.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
On an individual basis, Loïs Openda will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in RB Leipzig's last 6 league games.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
The RB Leipzig defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Die Unabsteigbaren in the league, with RB Leipzig conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. RB Leipzig have managed to keep a clean sheet against Bochum in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. Playing at home, Bochum have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against RB Leipzig.
Bochum manager Thomas Letsch has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Michael Esser (Knee), Bernardo Fernandes Silva (Knee), Tim Oermann (Groin), Patrick Osterhage (Muscle), Niclas Thiede (Muscle) and Mohammed Tolba (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose ahead of this clash, with Lukas Klostermann (Hip) missing out, which gives Rose a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
