Team News

Bochum
RBL
  • Elvis Rexhbecaj is available again after suspension and Danny Blum is fit again after a long-term niggle.
  • Key man Simon Zoller is still on his way back from an ACL injury.
  • Rotation might be necessary after the trip to sunny Spain as coach Domenico Tedesco may decide to freshen up the team.
  • Former Manchester City man Angelino is fit after a heavy cold, but German international Marcel Halstenberg remains on the sidelines after a knee op.

Prediction

  • Bochum have failed to score in eight games this term, but impressively turned over champions Bayern 4-2 last time out on home soil.
  • RB Leipzig have already suffered eight defeats, one more than during the whole of last season, but new coach Domenico Tedesco has rejuvenated Leipzig, who have moved into fourth after scoring two goals or more in seven consecutive games.
  • Bochum will be cheered on by 10,000 fans as the crowds start flocking back to German football.
  • Despite the poison chalice of Europa League football at Real Sociedad on Thursday evening, in-form Leipzig should claim the points to cement a Champions League qualification spot.
