In the Bundesliga, Bochum plays Hertha Berlin on Saturday at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion. Bochum is 17th in the league right now, one point from safety. The team led by Thomas Letsch has been playing well lately, winning three of their last five games in all competitions.
They will hope to proceed with their structure with a success against Hertha Berlin on Saturday. Hertha Berlin is 15th in the table, one point ahead of their rivals. The team led by Sandro Schwarz has been in poor form recently, losing three of their last five games in all competitions.
With a victory over Bochum on Saturday, they will hope to turn things around. Both teams will be trying to move up the table with a win when the Bundesliga starts up again, which should make for an interesting game.

This season, neither team has performed particularly well, and this should come to the forefront during the game on Saturday. Paul Grave, Konstantinos Stafylidis, Gerritt Holtmann, and Michael Esser are all out with injuries for Bochum.
In the meantime, injuries will prevent Hertha Berlin from playing Chidera Ejuke, Florian Niederlechner, Kelian Nsona, and Dodi Lukebakio. Based on their shape and quality, the two sides are hard to pick between. We anticipate a close game in which neither team will prevail in a tense draw.
Prediction: Bochum 1-1 Hertha Berlin
In the recent head-to-head record between the two teams, Hertha Berlin has dominated, winning four of their last five matches. The last time the two teams met, in February 2022, they played to a 1-1 draw. In order to ensure that everyone shared the evening’s spoils, Sebastian Polter canceled Ishak Belfodil’s opening bout.
Bochum’s defense is the worst in the league, allowing 36 goals in 15 games so far this season. Hertha Berlin’s offense ranks joint-fifth worst in the league, having scored just 19 goals in 15 games thus far this season.
Bochum named the second-most seasoned beginning XI in Bundesliga history in their last match versus Augsburg, as the normal age of the side was 31.4. After missing Poland’s World Cup squad due to a muscle injury, they could welcome back Dominique Heintz, who has only played four games since joining on loan from Union Berlin at the start of the season.
After departing Olympiacos earlier this month, Pierre Kunde may make his debut. Davie Selke, Vladimir Darida, and Lee Dong-Jun have all left Hertha this month, causing a mini-clearance there.
