THE PREDICTION
Bochum will go top of the table for the first time this season - until Sunday at least - if they get a win or draw in Aue, and they will be confident of doing so having won seven of their last nine league matches. They also have a good record in this fixture, winning 12 of the 21 meetings between the two sides in Bundesliga 2, including five of the last six. The hosts have slipped to ninth in the standings having taken just one point from their last three games, and they are also missing some important players for this one, not least striker Pascal Testroet who has contributed nine goals and seven assists this term. Bochum need the points more here and they should get all three.
