THE PREDICTION
Both Hoffenheim and Bochum began their respective Bundesliga campaigns with defeat, so the pressure is on both to bounce back with immediate effect here. Bochum’s loss was arguably more disappointing with them being at home and Hoffenheim will know that key to a successful season is to make PreZero Arena a fortress. However, neither team will want to suffer successive defeats and this may lead to a cagey affair as both teams prioritise a solid defensive foundation that doesn’t seem them take any unnecessary risks which could see them caught on the counter-attack. With that in mind, it may be shrewd to back the draw is this one, which would be enough to get both teams on the board in terms of points.
