Match Time & Date:

15:30
Prediction: 2-0
Stuttgart
Following a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen, Bochum will look to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they take on Stuttgart on Saturday afternoon. Bochum are safe for now, with the team being six points clear of the relegation zone, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure yet another Bundesliga survival. Both Takuma Asano and Cristian Gamboa are banned for the match, while the likes of Ivan Ordets and Michael Esser miss out with injuries.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, struggled offensively against Borussia M’gladbach as top scorer Serhou Guirassy is on international duty alongside Hiroki Ito, Woo-yeong Jeong, and Silas Katompa Mvumpa. As All Deniz Undav, Lilian Egloff, and Nikolas Nartey are sidelined with injuries, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. In the first half of the season Stuttgart hammered Bochum 5-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Waldemar Anton):
The Uzbekistan-born central defender plays at the heart of Hannover’s defense. His idol was Roy Maakay, so he started his career as a striker, but he soon turned to defense. Anton Waldemar was a mere teenager when he made his first appearance for Die Roten in February 2016 against VfB Stuttgart.
Waldemar only had to wait for two months to net his first goal against Borussia Monchengladbach. The following season he commanded Hannover’s defense in Bundesliga 2, making 31 appearances, helping his team to return to the top flight immediately after the relegation.
Even though he was born in Olmaliq, Uzbekistan, Waldemar decided to pledge allegiance to Germany, debuting for the U21 squad in September 2016, making 7 appearances so far. The press in Germany compare him to Javi Martinez from Bayern Munich, because Anton Waldemar can play in the heart of defense, as well as a defensive midfielder and a right-back.
