Regensburg vs Bochum Prediction & Betting tips
In the second Bundesliga, anyone can really win against anyone. Almost every game is knife-edge and difficult to type. So it is with the game between SSV Jahn Regensburg and VfL Bochum. At first glance it sounds like a clear story for the Revierklub, but especially at Jahn, the grapes for VfL are almost traditionally very high.
Regensburg is currently in 14th place in the table of the second Bundesliga. That sounds threatening at first, but the cushion on the lower relegation rank is at least six points. However, this can quickly melt away if there are several games without a win. That means Mersad Selimbegovic’s team will be challenged on Sunday.
With the well-known bookmakers, however, the team from Bochum is favored. VfL is currently in fourth place and is currently in a quintet that is fighting for promotion places. In addition, Thomas Reis’ team is still represented in the DFB Cup. That sounds very clearly as if a prognosis for the guests were inevitable in the match between Regensburg and Bochum.
In general, the momentum speaks for the Bochumers, who are currently in very good shape and have recently achieved many victories, while the Regensburg team is currently not really on the right track. That’s why our first impulse is to place a tip on one of VfL in the game between Regensburg and Bochum.
Regensburg :
Jahn is currently not playing bad football, but Mersad Selimbegovic’s team does not manage to convert the supposedly good performance into victories. That is why Bayern are only just above the relegation zone. Perhaps there is simply a lack of liberation that will bring back belief in one’s own strength.
In the second division, SSV Jahn has now been without a win for four games. After all, there was a hard-fought victory in the DFB Cup after penalties at the third division in Wiesbaden. But this was not the necessary impetus to overturn the buck in the league. Therefore, it seems to be the better choice to allude to an away win in the game between Regensburg and Bochum.
Last weekend there was the maybe expected defeat at the guest appearance in Hamburg. Regensburg fought back to the best of their ability and even equalized after falling behind with a goal from Max Besuschkow. Many tight decisions were made by the VAR against Jahn and so they returned home with a 1: 3 defeat at HSV.
Load control is also a big topic in Regensburg. Jahn has never experienced such a short winter break. Therefore, it is conceivable that Mersad Selimbegovic will rotate on Sunday. Albion Vrenezi will have to serve a yellow card suspension. Benedikt Gimber could possibly be an alternative again after recovering from injury.
Bochum :
For several years now, VfL has been a club in the second division that can make it into the upper house. Somehow it has not worked out consistently in recent years. It looks very different this season. It is quite conceivable that the Revierklub will be back on the top floor of German football in the next season.
Overall, Bochum has won four of the last five games and even got the upper hand at the Bundesliga club in Mainz after penalty shoot-outs. However, there have recently been two bankruptcies in the second division abroad, namely in Heidenheim and Hanover. The general form of VfL speaks for a prognosis for a guest victory before the kick-off between Regensburg and Bochum.
Last weekend, VfL won the first game of the year at home against Darmstadt 98. In the 80th minute Bochum fell 0: 1 behind, forced an own goal to equalize shortly afterwards and won 2: 1 with a goal from Milos Pantovic. These are the victories from which you draw strength for the next tasks.
However, this success also has a small downside, because Cristian Gamboa saw his fifth yellow card and will be suspended in Regensburg on Sunday. There are also three players on the list of injuries in the second division: Tarsis Bonga, Vassilis Lampropoulos and Soma Novotny. In general, however, a core formation has emerged at VfL anyway.
