THE PREDICTION
After their two nearest rivals dropped points over the weekend, victory for Bochum here would leave them on the brink of promotion to the Bundesliga. And they travel to Darmstadt full of confidence following four wins from their last five games, plus five wins from their last seven on the road. Darmstadt are not in bad form either, losing just one of their last seven matches, although they did not keep a clean sheet in any of those and have won just one of their last four at home. Bochum have not kept too many clean sheets on their travels and are without their first-choice goalkeeper for the remainder of the season, so a win for the league leaders and both teams to score is an appealing option for this one.
