Bochum vs Greuther Furth Prediction & Betting tips
Bochum – Fürth, only at first sight, both teams belong to the secure midfield of the table. While the SpVgg Greuther Fürth, with 40 points in sixth place, is probably the only club that can already plan for another year in the 2nd Bundesliga, the VfL Bochum as a table finder must look down clearly. The blue-whites are only four points ahead of the relegation and only five points before the first descent.
After the previous 19 duels, the balance is balanced with six Fürths wins, for successes of VfL Bochum and eight draws relatively. In Bochum the VfL has won only once against Fürth, but lost four times in four already.
Bochum :
In 2017, VfL Bochum has more or less seamlessly linked to its full-blown outline with 22 points. After only one point from the first three games, the Würzburger Kickers (2: 1) and the 1. FC Nürnberg (1: 0) won two consecutive victories, which should remain the last. On the contrary, the VfL became the absolute Remis specialist. First they lost 1: 2 against Fortuna Düsseldorf after the two victories, but since then there have been five draws. After a 1: 1 tie against VfB Stuttgart and Erzgebirge Aue, the last three games ended with SV Sandhausen, 1. FC Kaiserslautern and 1. FC Heidenheim all goalless.
Russell Canouse and Görkem Saglam after a suspended ban are again alternatives, but rather not for the starting line. Patrick Fabian, Timo Perthel, Pavel Dawidowicz, Kevin Stöger and Tom Weilandt are still missing.
Probable lineup: Riemann – Gyamerah, Hoogland, Bastians – Losilla, Janelt – Gündüz, Wurtz, Stiepermann – Mlapa, Quaschner
Greuther Furth :
The SpVgg Greuther Fürth has gone into the winter break after 15 points from the first 13 games under the then dismissed coach Stefan Ruthenbeck with seven points from the first four games under the coach Janos Radoki, who was then promoted to the bosscoach. After that the Kleeblatt lost the backround with TSV 1860 Munich 1: 2, but then no more, nine times in a row, the 0-2 in the DFB Cup against Borussia Mönchengladbach once excluded. At home, the SpVgg won 13 out of 15 points in this phase, despite the fact that they were still three draws and a victory. This strong series ended last weekend with a deserved 2: 2 defeat at 1. FC Kaiserslautern.
Niko Gießelmann, who is missing due to adductor problems, is hoping for a quick comeback, while Mathis Bolly, Sebastian Freis and Zlatko Tripic are still not available.
Provisional lineup: Megyeri – Caligiuri, Franke, Gießelmann – Narey, Hofmann, Gjasula, van den Bergh – Zulj – Berisha, Dursun
