Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Bochum
Match Time & Date:
12/03/2021
18:30
Prediction: 1-1
Hamburg
All eyes will be on Vonovia Ruhrstadion when Bochum and HSV take on each other in the 2. Bundesliga derby. Bochum quickly bounced back from a 1-0 loss to Aue, with the team beating both Wurzburger Kickers and Greuther Furth in the previous two league fixtures. Die Unabsteigbaren aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but the match against HSV will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team.
Since top scorer Simon Zoller has been struggling with a muscle injury, home win should not be considered. Hamburger, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous five league fixtures. A man to watch in the away team will be key attacker Simone Terode, who scored his 20th goal of the season in the 1-1 draw with Holstein Kiel. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Vonovia Ruhrstadion, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.
