THE PREDICTION
These two sides return from the Bundesliga winter break sitting in the bottom-half of the table and very much in danger of drifting into the bottom three and the relegation places. Bochum were beaten 4-0 by league leaders Bayer Leverkusen in their final game before the stoppage, meaning that only bottom-of-the-table Darmstadt have conceded more than them. Werder Bremen have also been leaky at the back, letting in 30 in their 16 matches so far so, with the two sides relatively evenly matched, a fairly entertaining encounter could be in store on Sunday afternoon.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
