Eintracht Braunschweig vs VfL Bochum — Tips & Analysis

VfL Bochum +0.25: Bochum have owned this game lately. They have won four of the last five meetings, including a 4-1 and a 2-0 in the last two. There is very little between these two sides, whatever the early table says. Braunschweig sit top after a 6-1 win at Magdeburg, but their last 13 games read 4 wins, 3 ties and 6 losses. They score just over a goal a game and let in about the same. They also go into this one missing four players, including an attacker. Bochum score more than a goal a game and are hard to beat by much. They have lost by 2 or more goals in only 2 of their last 13. They lost their opening game to Hertha by a single goal, but they made the better chances that day. Both sides let in a shade more than they score, and neither one controls a game for long. A 1-1 tie looks like the most likely score here, and that suits a side getting a head start. The worry is the trip. Bochum have won only one of their last six away games and let in almost 2 goals a game on the road. Braunschweig have lost once in five at home, and if that 6-1 win was the real Braunschweig, this gets away from us. We still want Bochum with the head start.
