Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Eintracht will be aiming to climb to the Champions League berth when they take on Bochum at their Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday. Die Adler have been having their ups and downs of late, beating both Besiktas and RFS in the Europa League, while failing to win the last three Bundesliga games, but they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Defender Arthur Theate serves a one-game ban, while all Rasmus Kristensen, Oscar Hojlund, and Sasa Kalajdzic miss out with injuries.
Bochum, on the other hand, are on a four-game losing run in the German top flight. As the relegation strugglers have conceded 15 goals in total in these encounters, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Goalkeeper Manuel Riemann remains on the sidelines through suspension, while both Myron Boadu and Bernardo miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Ellyes Skhiri):
After spending his youth career at Montpellier, Ellyes Skhiri continued playing for la Paillade at senior level.

The Koln midfielder made debut with the Tunisian national team in a 1-0 win over Iran on March 23, 2018 and he represented Tunisia at the FIFA World Cup finals in Russia later that year.
