VfL Bochum vs Fortuna Dusseldorf . This game is of great significance as both teams are vying for a precious spot in the Bundesliga！

Under interim manager Heiko Butscher, who took over after Thomas Letsch's departure in April, Bochum showed promise initially with seven points from their first four games. However, recent performances, including a crushing 5-0 defeat at home to champions Bayer Leverkusen, have dimmed their hopes of survival. With 74 goals conceded this season, second only to already-relegated SV Darmstadt 98, tightening up defensively will be a top priority for Butscher as they face Fortuna Dusseldorf in the first leg.

In contrast, Dusseldorf enters the playoffs in high spirits, riding a remarkable 14-game unbeaten streak since February, including nine wins and five draws. Despite narrowly missing out on automatic promotion, they secured a strong third-place finish in the second tier. A standout performance from Christos Tzolis, who netted a hat-trick in their final regular-season match to secure a 3-2 victory over Magdeburg, has bolstered their confidence.
