Team News

Bochum
Stuttgart
  • Ivan Ordets has been ruled out "indefinitely" following a thigh injury, while Cristian Gamboa is on the naughty step after racking up five yellow cards.
  • Back up keeper Michael Esser has a knee issue. Takuma Asano is with Japan at the Asian Cup.
  • Nikolas Nartey is nearing a return after knee surgery. Lilian Egloff has a knee problem.
  • Silas and Serhou Guirassy are both away at AFCON, while Hiroki Ito and Jeong Woo-Yeong are all at the Asia Cup.

Prediction

  • Bochum have proved tougher to beat this season, but the most draws in the league, eight, has prevented any genuine momentum up the table.
  • Third-placed Stuttgart cruised the opening day encounter 5-0 and have enjoyed an impressive campaign so far, in stark contrast to their struggles of the past few seasons.
  • Stuttgart are missing a host of key players on international duty, so back a home win at good odds.
