Bochum
- Bochum are chasing their first home win in the 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 (D1, L3).
- Uwe Roesler's men are playing with high intensity and a high line at the moment.
- The directness of their play has led to a mixed bag of results across the last five games with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats - a 2-1 loss at Hannover 96, a 4-1 friendly win over VfL Osnabruck and a 0-1 loss to Arminia Bielefeld at home.
Wolfsburg
- Wolfsburg have also been all over the place this season, but they seem a much more sturdy unit under the guidance of Tobias Strobl.
- Wolfsburg are unbeaten in four of their last five competitive matches (W2, D2, L1) and should show up with the proper away-day bite on Friday as their record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat on the road would suggest.
- Wolfsburg have scored 10 goals in 4 away games in 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027.
Head-to-Head
- In the head-to-head, Wolfsburg have won one and drawn one of the last two, while the last meeting ended 1-1 at Wolfsburg.
- Wolfsburg have beaten Bochum on 2 of their last 3 visits.
Key Players
- Robert Glatzel is Wolfsburg's most lethal finisher with four goals in five league games and he seems to have the knack of being in the right place at the right time to finish off good attacks.
- Koji Miyoshi has been Bochum's most reliable man with two goals in six league games, but he's been in the game for two of their four goals in the last five matches so there's a good chance of both forward lines being involved in this one.
Betting Insights
- Wolfsburg are 2.15 favorites, the hosts are 3.0 and the draw is 3.8, so there's some serious discrepancy in the perception of these two teams.
- Wolfsburg have been able to make a real impact away from home and have scored 10 times in 4 league away games, so we're taking Over 2.5 goals at 1.5 and Both Teams To Score at 1.4 in what should be an open, end-to-end game.
Prediction
- This is a game where the visitors are marginally more likely to get the win, but Bochum's grit and home-field advantage has us leaning towards keeping it close in the betting markets.
- This will be a tough game for Bochum to break down, even at home, so Wolfsburg should be able to nick it.
