Greuther Furth – Bochum : Preview & Prediction
For the 8th day the two promoted meet. Greuther Fürth 18th and last receives Bochum 17th.
After a perfect season at the bottom, Greuther Fürth is having a very complicated start to the top-flight season. Indeed, after 7 days in the Bundesliga, the locals have only been able to take one point and have just lost 5 consecutive defeats. Against Mainz (3-0), Wolfsburg (0-2), Herta Berlin (2-1), Bayern Munich (1-3) and finally Cologne (3-1) just before the international cut. They therefore logically point to the last place in the ranking.
Bundesliga 2 champion Bochum had a similar start to the season last season with just 4 points taken in the first 7 league days. An accession to the elite not so easy but this is not alarming being only 2 points behind 14th Herta. After 3 defeats in a row against Cologne (2-1), Herta Berlin (1-3) then heavily against Bayern Munich (7-0), they were able to react by hanging a draw against Stuttgart (0-0). However, they were dominated by Leipzig (3-0) just before the international break.
Greuther Fürth is 19 goals conceded for only 5 scored in 7 days.
Bochum is quite similar with 16 goals conceded and only 4 scored.
In the last 5 encounters, the 5 have seen both teams score in the match.
Last season Greuther Fürth won away from Bochum (0-2) and lost at home (1-2).
The two teams know each other perfectly, Bochum finished first in Bundesliga 2 and Greuther Fürth in 2nd place with only 3 points difference.
In a match between two teams in pain but who know each other perfectly, we should attend a rather open meeting. Two defenses lacking in confidence this will be the time for the two attacks lacking solutions to shine in this match. That’s why we’re starting with both teams to score in the game.
