SV Darmstadt vs Bochum Predictions

• These sides have drawn six Bundesliga games between them this season
• Both teams have scored in three of Bochum’s last four games
• Two of Bochum’s Bundesliga games this term have finished 1-1

Struggling pair tough to separate

Darmstadt were destroyed 8-0 by Bayern Munich in their most recent Bundesliga outing and they will be after a response when they welcome Bochum to the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor on Friday.

Last Saturday’s loss would have been a hard one to take for Darmstadt boss Torsten Lieberknecht but in fairness to his side they were up against the division’s most prolific outfit and were down to nine men after 41 minutes.

It has been a tough season for Darmstadt, who are hovering above the drop zone, but they are at least above this Friday’s opponents Bochum in the standings.

Only two points separate the teams and this could be a close contest.

Goals could be in short supply

Bochum know all about close battles with five of their nine league fixtures this season having finished as draws and backing the stalemate could again be the way to go.

Bochum are yet to record a Bundesliga win this campaign but can make life tricky for a wounded Darmstadt team, who have won only two of their nine league games themselves.

The draw is the best result bet and in terms of goals, they could be in short supply with both sides having managed only 21 goals between them in a combined 18 matches, so 1-1 looks a decent correct score prediction.
