THE LOWDOWN
BOCHUM
Inconsistency makes Bochum a difficult side to predict at the moment. Each of their last three Bundesliga fixtures have yielded a different result and the outcome as it stands is them being marooned in lower midtable, looking slightly nervously over their shoulder, although a hefty eight points separates them from the bottom three at present.
AUGSBURG
Augsburg sit just a point above Bochum following three defeats from their most recent four league matches. The most recent of those losses was an entertaining 2-3 loss at the hands of Bayern Munich, where Augsburg at least warrant credit for not giving up at any point against the reigning champions, albeit falling short come full time.
THE TEAM NEWS
BOCHUM
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Riemann; Gamboa, Masovic, Ordets, Bernardo; Osterhage, Losilla, Stoger; Bero, Paciencia, Antwi-Adjei

THE PREDICTION
Each of Augsburg’s last two games have seen over 2.5 goals scored and this is likely to wind up being another contest with goals being scored. The onus is on Bochum to take the game to their opponents, but it isn’t in Augsburg’s nature to play passively and defend for 90 minutes, so expect them to trade punches with the hosts. Regardless of the final outcome, back over 2.5 goals for what would be the sixth time in Bochum’s most recent eight league fixtures.
BETTING TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
