Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bochum and Mainz take on each other at Vonovia Ruhrstadion in the La Liga 9 curtain-raiser. Bochum are stuck in the relegation zone with only four points on their account, but it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to record their first win of the process. Former Eintracht Frankfurt forward Goncalo Paciencia, who opened his goal-scoring account in a 2-1 loss to Freiburg, has joined the likes of Patrick Osterhage, Matus Bero, Luis Hartwig, and Michael Esser in the recovery room.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, are desperate to register their first win of the season as well, but given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s relegation six-pointer. All Phillipp Mwene, Nelson Weiper, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, and Jonathan Burkardt remain on the sidelines with injuries for the away team.
