THE PREDICTION
Bochum restart the Bundesliga inside the bottom three, which puts into perspective the importance of hitting the ground running against Hertha. Victory for the hosts would see them overtake their opponents in the table and Hertha on the road will be expected to prioritise defensive stability here, making themselves difficult to break down for a Bochum side who have scored just 14 league goals so far this season. Knowing full well the ramifications of defeat, Bochum may have to air on the side of caution themselves and when taking this into account, chances are likely to be few and far between at Vonovia Ruhrstadion. Whatever the outcome, back under 2.5 goals to be scored.
