Greuther Furth vs Bochum Prediction & Betting tips
After we were allowed to enjoy many exciting cup games during the week, is now again the league routine at the door. On Friday evening, the twelfth matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga will be opened with the match between Greuther Fürth and VfL Bochum. Both teams have sorted themselves in the upper half of the table. This is surprising at least for the Fürthern, after they have fought in the last season until the last match against relegation. However, in the summer break very good decisions were made in the transfer market, so that the current squad has the table top in mind. The home side will be favorites in this game. In our analysis, our readers get all the important information about this duel. The ball rolls at 17:30 clock in the sports park Ronhof Thomas summer.
Fürth:
The Middle Franconia are certainly among the surprises of the current season. Having been trembling to the end last season and barely able to prevent relegation, things are going much better this year. After eleven games they already have 19 points on the account. The five wins and four draws face just two defeats. In the local sports park the Fürth are still without defeat. They scored nine points with a goal difference of 10: 5. Last Friday, coach Damir Buric’s team suffered another defeat after four games without defeat.
In Darmstadt they lost with 0: 2. A fat goalkeeping error from Keeper Burchert brought the Hessen on the winning road. Before that, the Bavarians won in a spectacular match 3: 2 at the Bielefelder Alm and 1-0 in Dresden. The last two home games against Regensburg (1-1) and HSV (0-0) ended each draw. Now it goes against the Bochum, who have not ripped out trees in a foreign land. With a home win, the Fürth would probably take another promotion place. The best scorer is Daniel Keita-Ruel, who moved from Fortuna Köln to Fürth in the summer. He was able to net six times already. Tobias Mohr, who also has four goals in his account, is in very good shape.
Bochum:
Although it may not be said openly before the season, Bochum’s goal can only be a weighty word in the fight for promotion. After the riots last season, the commitment of coach Robin Dutt was a stroke of luck. At last peace has returned and you can concentrate fully on the sporty. In the season so far the team lacks consistency. Currently they are in seventh place with 16 points. The gap to the relegation place is three points. Therefore, the game against the fourth table already a trend-setting character. With a win, the Ruhrgebieter pull past the opponent, in a defeat, they have lost contact with leading group once. In the last games it was better again with the boys from the Castroper street. After the two defeats against Dresden (0: 1) and in Heidenheim (2: 3), the last three games were not lost. The Arminia from Bielefeld was defeated 1-0. When promotion favorites from Hamburg could be taken at 0: 0 a point.
In the Monday evening game against Jahn Regensburg, VfL looked like a sure winner for a long time. In a varied game, they were in the lead after one hour, 3-1. But the Regensburg did not open up and came through a goal in the third minute of injury time to compensate. Nevertheless, Coach Dutt was satisfied with the performance of his team. He will definitely miss Sebastian Meier, who had to undergo groin surgery, and Jannik Bandowski, who tore his cruciate ligament in the spring. Lukas Hinterseer is currently the most dangerous Bochumer. On Monday he scored his sixth and sixth goals of the season.
