Bochum will look to extend their recent home record when they welcome Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.
A lack of wins of lateBochum has struggled for wins of late in the Bundesliga, as a 3-1 defeat at Dortmund means that the home team has won just once in their previous four matches in the German top flight.
Their recent games have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven league matches.
Although Bochum are in 14th place in the Bundesliga, they are eight points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
Thomas Letsch’s team has a strong recent home record, as they are unbeaten in their last six games, having recorded three wins and three draws.
Bochum’s recent home matches have delivered goals, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven home games in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg looking to end a poor run of formThe visitors continued a poor recent run of form in the Bundesliga last time out with a 3-2 home defeat in a Bavarian derby against Bayern Munich.
Their recent bad run of form has Augsburg in 13th place in the Bundesliga table, nine points clear of the league's bottom three.
Augsburg's form may have been underwhelming of late in the Bundesliga, but at least their games have produced goals, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league games.
Augsburg ended a poor recent away run in the Bundesliga in their last match on their travels, as they recorded a 2-1 win at Monchengladbach.
The victory not only ended a two-game losing away streak but also a run of four away matches in the German top flight.
What am I backing?Neither team’s recent results have been great in the Bundesliga. However, Bochum has been strong on home soil, and I am backing a home win in this clash.
