Bochum vs Heidenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (13 April)

While it thought it had taken precautions in the fight for maintenance by widening a considerable gap in the red zone, this Bochum team is in the process of scaring itself at the end of the season. The VfL must accumulate poor performances and it has shown a very poor record over the last few days. Proof of this is that the locals have only taken a small point in the last 6 matches. It was against the red lantern, Darmstadt 2-2, 15 days ago. Last week, they carried out another very bad operation by losing to Cologne 2-1. Consequently, Thomas Letsch's men saw the barrage return to just 3 points on the clock, 6 days before the end of the season. Faced with this situation, the leaders decided to part ways with their coach for the last matches of this exercise.

For its part, Heidenheim has nothing to fear in recent days. The results are therefore very positive for this team which discovered the Bundesliga for the first time in its history this season. Because with 33 points on the clock, the FCH occupies a very correct 10th place with another 10 points ahead of the red zone. A little less well recently, the promoted side had gone 6 games without a single victory, including the last 2 draws against Mönchengladbach 1-1 and Stuttgart 3-3. But last week, they put in an excellent performance by winning against Bayern Munich 3-2 while trailing by 2 goals at the break.

The new coach will have to approach this meeting deprived of the replacement goalkeepers Esser and Thiede, the young defender Tolba and the replacement midfielder Kwarteng who are still on the flank. This is also the case of the disappointing Portuguese striker Paciencia who has also joined the infirmary in the same way as the very good Austrian midfielder Stöger (5 goals, 6 assists).

On the other hand, striker Asano (6 goals) and center forward Hofmann (3 goals) should be operational.
