The home team enters this second round following a defeat in their league opener against Darmstadt 98, losing 4-1. Bochum is a team that performs better at home, as reflected in their last 30 matches where they secured 3 wins, 3 draws, and suffered 9 losses as visitors, scoring 15 goals and conceding 31. In contrast, at home, they’ve achieved 6 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses, scoring 23 goals and conceding 25. Bochum managed only 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from their last 10 home games across all competitions. This team has conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 games, indicating significant defensive flaws. They have rarely taken the lead, only scoring first in 3 out of the last 15 matches. In 11 instances, they conceded the first goal and managed to stage a comeback just once during this period.

Bochum is experiencing a challenging start to the season, having just been relegated and facing a heavy loss in their debut in 2.Bundesliga, which has heightened the pressure on the squad. Now, playing at home, it is vital they demonstrate a more robust and organised approach to secure their first points. The situation demands greater effort, concentration, and efficiency in the chances created. An aggressive strategy from the outset is anticipated as they seek to regain confidence and begin to respond positively in the competition.
