Huge Bochum home clash | OneFootball

Oliver Glasner and his men will be up for the challenge when they face a battling Bochum team on a good run of form in what is a crucial match.

With the international break now at an end, Eintracht are raring to go ahead of their important clash with VfL Bochum on Friday 31 March at 20:30 CEST at Deutsche Bank Park. “We’ll be trying to turn things around against Bochum, and then I’m sure that things can quickly start going in another direction again,” said head coach Oliver Glasner ahead of the match against the team currently 14th in the table.

Consecutive wins Bochum travel to Frankfurt with renewed confidence after wins over Köln and Leipzig in their last two matches, which took them from 18th to 14th in the league. They have also won 2,647 duels so far this season, putting them third in the Bundesliga in that particular category. In terms of scoring goals, it is one of their defenders – Erhan Masovic – who has led the way most recently with four goals in the past seven outings. Away from home, however, VfL have picked up just six points, with only Stuttgart and Hertha BSC having poorer records on their travels.

“Defend more consistently, take our chances” “We need to defend more consistently and then be more purposeful up front and take our chances,” said board member for sport Markus Krösche. “It’s the little things at the moment that are having a big effect, but we’re going to carry on working on those and then things will turn around again.” A major factor in the team’s success could well be Randal Kolo Muani, who performed well for his country France over the past week and will be looking to add to his goals tally in the Bundesliga.

The Eagles have lost only once in their last 17 home meetings with VfL Bochum, winning the past five against the team from the Ruhr.
