VFL Bochum 1848 heads into this match following the draw with Union Berlin, with Matus Bero netting the only goal for the team. Under the management of Dieter Hecking, Bochum typically sets up in a 5-3-2 formation, emphasising a more physical and direct style of play, making quick transitions and relying heavily on long balls and crosses into the opponent’s area. Myron Boadu and Moritz Broschinski are crucial to their attacking intent, serving key roles in attempting to break down the opposition’s defence. Unfortunately, the coach will be without Koji Miyoshi, who is still recovering from injury.
