Bochum vs Augsburg prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 12, 2025
One of the matches of the 29th round of the German championship will be played on Saturday at the "Vonovia Ruhrstadion", where the local Bochum will host Augsburg. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this clash with good chances of success.
Match Preview
After a crushing 0-4 defeat to Stuttgart in the last round, Dieter Hecking's team recorded their third consecutive loss in the championship. During this stretch, Bochum's defense has been falling apart — in each of the three matches, opponents have scored at least three times. The attack is also stagnant: for the first time in the last four games, the club failed to score a goal.
Currently, Bochum is still in the penultimate 17th position, and the gap from the safe zone has increased to six points. The home factor is also not having the desired effect — in the last six matches at their arena, only one draw and four defeats.
In the previous round, Jess Thorup's team suffered a home defeat to Bayern with a score of 1-3, thus ending an impressive 11-match unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga (6 wins and 5 draws). Moreover, it was the first time in the last 13 rounds that Augsburg conceded more than one goal per game — the defense cracked under the pressure of the Munich team.
The team has conceded 39 goals — the sixth-highest in the league. The setback with the giant dropped the club to 11th place in the standings. However, Augsburg shows enviable stability on the road: in the last seven away Bundesliga matches, the team has not known the bitterness of defeat, securing four wins and three draws.
Probable Lineups
- Bochum: Timo Horn – Ivan Ordets, Tim Erman, Felix Passlack – Matus Bero, Ibrahima Sissoko, Tom Krauss, Gerrit Holtmann, Maximilian Wittek – Philipp Hofmann, Myron Boadu
- Augsburg: Finn Dahmen – Cedric Zesiger, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Chrislain Matsima, Dimitris Giannoulis – Marius Wolf, Frank Onyeka, Kristijan Jakic, Alexis Claude-Maurice, Fredrik Jensen – Samuel Essende
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- In the first match of the season, Augsburg defeated the opponent with a score of 1-0
- The "Over 2.5 goals" bet hit in two out of five matches
- The "both teams to score" bet hit in three out of five matches
Prediction
Both teams will be motivated, but Augsburg looks better. Yes, they lost to Bayern, but who can withstand the onslaught of that team? We believe that the guests have a chance at points, and our bet is "Augsburg not to lose" with odds of 1.60.
