Command Analysis
Bochum
GermanyCurrent form
Since Dieter Hecking took over as coach, Bochum has noticeably improved its defensive reliability. Occasionally, they even manage to “scratch out” points, but there has been no significant breakthrough yet. In the last round, the “unbending” team tied away with Union (1:1), and from the 13th minute they played with ten men. The team is still winless in the championship and is at the bottom of the standings with three points. It should be noted that Bochum scored two of its three points at home.
Disqualifications and injuries
Miyoshi will serve a suspension, while Holtmann appearance on the field is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bochum have drawn in the first half in three of their last four matches
- In the last five matches involving the "unbending" in the championship, no more than two goals were scored
Estimated line-up: Drewes - Erman, Ordets, Bernardo - Passlack, Sissoko, Losilla, Wittek - Bero - Hofman, Broschinski.
FC Heidenheim
GermanyCurrent form
Heidenheim clearly couldn't cope with the tight schedule, when they had to play in the Conference League and the championship for a long time. As a result, the team tied 1:1 with St. Gallen in the European Cup this week and advanced to the 1/16 playoffs. Things are much worse in the Bundesliga. Frank Schmidt team is currently on a six-game losing streak and is in 16th place in the playoff zone with 10 points. In the last round, Heidenheim couldn't do anything against Stuttgart on its home field (1:3).

Nijus will not play due to injury. Gimber has too many cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- Heidenheim have lost in the first half in four of their last five matches in all competitions
- Four of Heidenheim previous five league games have seen goals exchanged
- Heidenheim have lost four games in a row away from home in the Bundesliga
Probable line-up: Müller - Traore, Mainka, Sirsleben, Fehrenbach - Dorsch, Scheppner - Schienza, Wanner, Honsak - Piringer.

5.40Tip and bets
It is difficult to give preference to anyone in this battle of outsiders. Both teams are in a decent decline, with the home field factor on Bochum side. At the same time, Heidenheim, in general, is having a more successful season, showing itself better in attack. We think that a draw will be the logical outcome of the upcoming meeting.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.60
Bet on total
Bochum have noticeably improved their defensive reliability after the coaching change, but their attack is not encouraging at all. In the last five matches involving the hosts in the Bundesliga, no more than two goals have been scored, and it is unlikely that the opponents will take unjustified risks in such an important match.
The second bet is total under three goals with odds of 1.67
Bet on the first half
Three of the four previous matches involving Bochum ended in a draw in the first half. It is highly likely that today all the main events on the field will unfold after the break, and at the start the opponent will act cautiously, each point is too valuable for them now.
