Bochum vs SV Darmstadt Predictions

• Bochum have only lost two of their last ten home league games
• Darmstadt are on a run of 19 games without a win
• The hosts have picked up 18 of their 25 points this season at Vonovia Ruhrstadion

Can Bochum end their losing streak?

Bochum are in a perilous position in the Bundesliga, with a run of four successive defeats leaving them only six points above the relegation play-off place.

They may well be reliant on their results at home to stay up, and that may not be a bad thing given they have lost just two of their last ten outings at Vonovia Ruhrstadion, beating Bayern Munich during that time.

Indeed, of their five league victories this season, four have come on home soil, where they are also unbeaten this campaign against teams currently in the bottom third of the table.

Darmstadt in big trouble

They may be confident of extending that record against an opponent who last registered a Bundesliga win back in October – fully 19 games ago.

As such, they sit bottom of the table and are six points below the relegation play-off spot, so their stint in the top flight looks to set to come to an end after just one campaign.

Indeed, there are not too many things for manager Torsten Lieberknecht to be positive about, as he prepares to take charge of the club for the 100th time.

Their away record includes seven defeats from 12 attempts, while they are on a run of three successive defeats at all venues, including heavy 5-2 and 6-0 reversals to Augsburg and Bayern Munich.

I predict that Bochum will win this game, with 1-0 my correct score prediction.
