Bochum – Augsburg : Preview & Prediction
In the framework of the 31st day of the Bundesliga, Bochum hosts Augsburg. For the local team of Bochuù, the end of the season looks like being without pressure as they are currently in 12th place with 8 points ahead of the relegation zone with 4 games to go. The players of Bochum have taken a big step towards the maintenance of the Bundesliga after some positive results. Indeed, after beating Hoffenheim (1-2), they managed to hold Bayer Leverkusen (0-0) to get a draw. Last week, this team fell to Freiburg (3-0).
For the visiting Augsburg team, nothing is decided yet. Indeed, their latest results allow them to occupy the 14th place but with only 4 points ahead of the red zone. The Augsburg players have lost 3 of their last 7 games. After two very encouraging victories against Wolfsburg (3-0) and Mainz (2-1), allowing them to get out of the relegation zone, Augsburg’s players are going through a more difficult period. They have just lost twice to Bayern Munich (1-0) and then to Hertha Berlin (0-1), a direct competitor for survival.
In the first leg, Bochum won (2-3).
Only 4 points separate these two teams in the standings.
Augsburg have lost five of their last six away games, so it’s time for them to get back on track.
Bochum have won just one of their last five away games.
In this match, we should see two teams with a different mindset. Indeed, Bochum’s team is almost sure to stay in the German top flight and could be less motivated at the end of the season. On the other hand, Augsburg are still in the fight for survival and if they win, they could take a big step towards another season in the Bundesliga. Therefore, we see the Augsburg team approaching this match with great determination and we do not see them losing. That’s why we chose the double chance Augsburg or draw.
