Relegation-threatened Bochum will attempt to claim their first win in over two months when they play host to Hoffenheim on Friday.

The first of Bochum’s last four matches that could save their Bundesliga status will be up this Friday as they host Hoffenheim. With 27 points, Bochum occupy the relegation playoff position while Hoffenheim are just six points below European football slots. This will be Bochum’s penultimate home match and they’ll want to bag maximum points from it. Their final home game comes with no guarantees, as they play the champions, Bayer Leverkusen. Bochum aren’t in great form coming into this encounter; they haven't won any of their last eight matches. The 1-0 loss to Wolfsburg in their last game was the sixth defeat in those eight matches. In the last 12 matches, Bochum’s only win was against former champions Bayern Munich. That 3-2 win was however one of the eight matches in 12 that they’ve conceded at least two goals in. Their last 15 matches have returned just one clean sheet. The hosts have a positive to focus on, in the fact that they’ve failed to score in just two of their last 14 matches.
