Bochum will welcome Greuther Furth to the Vonovia Ruhrstadion for a matchday 25 fixture in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The home side will go into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Freiburg at the same ground in the quarterfinals of the DFB Pokal on Wednesday. Sebastian Polter and Nils Petersen scored second-half goals to force extra time where Rolan Sallai scored the winning goal in the 120th minute.

Greuther Furth played out a 1-1 draw with FC Koln on home turf in the league last weekend. Florian Kainz and Sebastian Griesbeck scored after the break to share the spoils.

Bochum vs Greuther Furth Prediction

The two newly-promoted sides have had vastly different fortunes in the Bundesliga so far. Bochum have done almost enough to guarantee another season of top-flight football, while Greuther Furth are running out of time to stave off relegation.

The basement side have been atrocious on their travels this season, although they will fancy their chances of getting something against Bochum. Both sides should do enough to get on the scoresheet but we are backing the hosts to secure a comfortable victory.

Prediction: Bochum 3-1 Greuther Furth
