Match Prediction: Bochum vs. Eintracht
Dieter Hecking's side is making successful attempts to improve their challenging league position. The team's good results are largely due to their increased scoring ability. In their last five championship matches, Bochum scored 8 goals – nearly a third of all their goals in this tournament. While their attack is improving, defensive issues persist – with only one clean sheet in this stretch.
Frankfurt has been conceding regularly, but their defense is currently struggling: the club has conceded 10 goals in their last three Bundesliga matches. Away from home, Eintracht has failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 league matches. However, in 16 of these matches, they have not left the field without scoring.
Both teams have scored in 5 of the last 6 Bundesliga encounters between these opponents. This is another factor supporting the prediction: Both teams to score – yes.
