THE TEAM NEWS

BOCHUM

• Bochum have only lost one of their last five matches, drawing the last two, but they remain just outside the relegation zone.
• Centre-back Decarli is fit again after illness but January signing Lampropoulos will hope to keep his place after a solid debut.
• Coach Reis has no new personnel issues and may keep faith with the side that started in last weekend's goalless draw at Darmstadt.

Predicted line-up (4-3-3): Riemann; Gamboa, Lampropoulos, Leitsch, Danilo Soares; Tesche, Losilla, Janelt; Osei-Tutu, Ganvoula, Blum

Unavailable: Bapoh (Injured)

Doubtful:

HEIDENHEIM

• Heidenheim kept up the pressure on the top three with a comfortable 3-1 win at home to Karlsruher SC last Saturday but have been inconsistent on their travels lately.
• Centre-back Husing completes his two-match ban but other than long-term absentee Thiel, coach Schmidt has a fully fit squad.
• Kerschbaumer was recalled in midfield against Karlsruher and should keep his place after netting his first goal of the campaign.

Predicted line-up (4-1-4-1): Muller; Busch, Beermann, Mainka, Theuerkauf; Dorsch; Schnatterer, Kerschbaumer, Griesbeck, Leipertz; Kleindienst

Unavailable: Thiel (Injured), Husing (Suspended)

Doubtful:

THE PREDICTION

Bochum have taken just one point from their last four home games but they have only failed to score once at the Ruhrstadion this season. They have also only registered one clean sheet, though, and given there were five goals in the reverse fixture, there should be a few goals between them again.
