Bochum vs. Hertha

Bochum wasn’t able to manage 1-0 lead over Bayern Munchen and one man up  . This thing makes Bochum in my opinion unreliable even at home . They had good start against Bayern but somehow they “managed” to lose confortably 1-3 .

Hertha is losing speed . They are currently on 3 losses streak and they will do everything they can to stop this trend . Afterall , Bochum and Hertha are very close in current standings .

Hertha will have unavailable for this game two important players , Pantelic and Raffael which is a big blow for them ..

Bochum is quite good when playing home , whole season they have only one defeat at home , while Hertha has too many defeats when playing away : 8 defeats from 13 games isn’t something to be proud of .

What makes me go with away team here is h2h .

Close games when these two teams met but with a little advantage for Hertha . Bochum has good attack but their defense is quite bad lately and is not reliable . Hertha has trouble in attack but better defense .

My pick :

Bochum – Hertha AH 0:1/2 away win @1.79 Pinn
