Prediction: 2-0
Dusseldorf
Bochum will be aiming to make amends for a 4-1 loss to Werder Bremen when they take on Fortuna Dusseldorf in the relegation playoffs, first leg. Bochum failed to impress in their last game of the regular season, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the 2. Bundesliga side in front of home fans. Slovakia midfielder Matus Bero is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Forster, Kwarteng, Soares, Thiede, Tolba, and Esser remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Die Fortunen, on the other hand, finished the 2023/2024 2. Bundesliga campaign in third place in the standings. The visitors are high on confidence ahead of the trip to North Rhine-Westphalia, but seeing that Bochum are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are going to bet on the hosts this time out. Forward Emmanuel Iyoha is back from suspension, while defender Jamil Siebert is injured for the visiting side.
