THE PREDICTION
Bochum’s defensive fragilities came to the fore last weekend as they were thrashed 5-2 by Mainz. Having now conceded nine goals across their last three league games since the Bundesliga’s resumption, out of form Hoffenheim will see this as a big opportunity to potentially gain their first win of the year. However, like Mainz, Hoffenheim’s backline cannot stop leaking goals, also shipping nine in their most recent three in the German top flight. Neither are likely to play cautiously here with defence not being their strong suit and a highly attacking contest looks on the cards. Therefore, back over 2.5 goals being scored regardless of which way the game goes.
