Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Darmstadt will try to recover from a massive 8-0 loss to Bayern Munich when they take on Bochum in the opening match of the Bundesliga round 10. The Lilywhites aim to escape the danger zone, but they will have to do it without suspended duo Gjasula – Maglica. Christoph Zimmermann is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Christoph Klarer, Fabian Holland, Fabio Torsiello, and Aaron Seydel remain in the recovery room.
Bochum, on the other hand, are eyeing their first win of the season and we predict that they will take advantage of the current atmosphere in Darmstadt’s dressing room. Keep in mind that the likes of Schlotterbeck, Ordets, Osterhage, Bero, Esser, Mousset, and Tolba have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the visiting team. Last time out Darmstadt defeated Bochum 3-1, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
