On Friday, April 26, in the opening match of the 31st round of the Bundesliga, Bochum will host Hoffenheim at the Ruhrstadion. The match predictions and stakes for these teams have been prepared by analysts at Dailysports.
Bochum
Bochum continues to fight for survival in the Bundesliga, but the position of this team is sharply deteriorating. After the last round, the "unyielding" team dropped to 16th place, which sends them to the playoff for the right to play in the Bundesliga against the third-place team in the Second Bundesliga. Last weekend, Bochum lost away to Wolfsburg (0-1), extending their winless streak in the Bundesliga to 9 matches. Their sensational victory over Bayern Munich (3-2), which Bochum achieved two months ago, remains their latest triumph. Since then, Bochum has already changed coaches – instead of Thomas Letsch, Heiko Bucher will lead the team until the end of the season, who previously worked with the club's youth team.
Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim, with 39 points, occupies ninth place and is seriously aiming to finish seventh at the end of the season and qualify for the Conference League. Currently, Hoffenheim is only one point behind Freiburg, who is in seventh place. In the previous round, Pellegriño Matarazzo's team played one of the most thrilling matches of the season, defeating Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-3, with Anton Stach scoring the decisive goal in the first minute of stoppage time. In their last 5 matches, Hoffenheim has only collected 6 points and suffered a humiliating 1-4 defeat to Mainz before their victory against Gladbach.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

Bochum vs Hoffenheim prediction
Bochum will fight to remain in the Bundesliga, so it's risky to bet on a Hoffenheim victory. My bet is that both teams will score.
