Bochum - Paderborn Prediction, Picks and Tips  


 
  
Ten game days have been completed in the second highest German division and in terms of promotion it is still not clear where the journey will go. There are just six points between the current championship leader Holstein Kiel and 13th place. Consequently, every game can currently lead to shifts in the ranking of the 2nd division.

One of the many chase duels will take place on Friday evening in western Germany. There it comes to the encounter between Bochum and Paderborn. According to the odds, the best bookmakers see the home side slightly ahead, which can be attributed in particular to the fact that the guests from East Westphalia recently lost twice in a row and the temporarily good momentum disappeared.

Nevertheless, coach Steffen Baumgart's team has the necessary quality and experience to stop the mini-crisis as quickly as possible. At the start of the eleventh game day, the SCP could also benefit from the fact that VfL also lost out in the top game against Kiel in the previous week.

In addition, Bochum vs. Paderborn's prognosis takes into account that the Reis-Elf only won two of their five home games in the current season. The bottom line is that we can expect a completely open match in which nuances will decide between victory and defeat. Accordingly, in our opinion, it makes sense to exploit potentially higher odds, as these always contain value in the subjectively implied 50/50 case.

 
 


 
 
 
VfL Bochum is currently playing in Germany's second division for the eleventh year in a row. A potential return to the House of Lords was never felt to be the topic in all these seasons. Much more the Ruhrpottler had to fight over and over again to remain in the second highest division.

Since the arrival of coach Thomas Reis, however, there has been a rethink in the West. The 47-year-old is a real identification figure due to his long past at the club and is currently ensuring that VfL can dream of the Bundesliga again. Reis has broken up structures, demonstrably strengthened the squad and instilled in the actors a self-confidence that may be enough for the big coup.
 

Nevertheless, the Bochum team suffered another setback at 1: 3 in Kiel after two previous wins. The balance sheet with five successes, two draws and three bankruptcies is currently enough for third place. However, the blue-whites had minor problems in their own stadium, where only two of the five matches were victorious. In both three-pointers against Düsseldorf and Aue, the Reis-Elf also benefited from an early red card against the opponent.

Despite all the justified optimism in the Ruhr, it should not be neglected that VfL has not yet won a home game this season if the opponent played with eleven players until the end. In connection with the defensive, which does not always seem firm, which conceded eight of their twelve goals against in the last five match days, we would be careful with risking a tip on the home win between Bochum and Paderborn.

In terms of personnel, the trainer can draw on almost unlimited resources. Only bonga and decarli are not available due to injury. Changes in the starting line-up are conceivable, even though the same players have been trusted by Thomas Reis recently. Simon Zoller in particular, who ousted Ganvoula in the front line, is currently paying back this advance very well. The former Bundesliga professional has already booked five goals and four assists.

 

 
 
 
 

 
A good two weeks ago, SC Paderborn had the feeling that the knot had finally burst and the below-average start to the season had been forgotten. The East Westphalia had just remained unbeaten six times in a row and had collected 14 out of a possible 18 points in this period. Then came the most recent two games against KSC and 1. FC Nürnberg, both of which were lost. The SCP offensive also failed to hit twice in a row.

It will be all the more interesting how Steffen Baumgart has prepared his protégés this week for the upcoming duel in Bochum. Despite the two bankruptcies, the Bundesliga relegated team is just three points behind VfL and could even overtake the western competitor in the event of the fifth win of the season on Friday.
 
Although only one of the five away games so far this season has been won (4-0 in Darmstadt), the defensive emphasized time and time again that it is difficult to beat abroad. In none of the guest appearances mentioned did keeper Zingerle have to reach behind him more than once. Overall, the blue-black conceded only three goals in opposing stadiums.

In addition to this statistical component, it should also be remembered that bookmakers sometimes underestimate the East Westphalia region. Many professionals were allowed to play in the Bundesliga last year and thus gain valuable experience. In addition, the Baumgart-Elf showed in the course of the positive run mentioned at the beginning that they can cause problems for any second division team.

As a result, the odds on the guest triple between Bochum and Paderborn are too high and thus provide lucrative value. Should the table tenth win after regular playing time, the tested bookmaker Neobet would refund three times the stake. Huth and Justvan are injured. Otherwise all men are ready for action.
