Bochum vs Stuttgart Prediction and Betting Tips | April 9th 2023

Bochum play host to Stuttgart at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion in round 27 of the German Bundesliga on Sunday. The visitors secured a spot in the DFB Pokal semi-finals last time out and will look to build on that result.

Bochum were denied a third win on the trot as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Eintracht Frankfurt last Friday.

Prior to that, Thomas Letsch’s men snapped their five-game losing streak on March 10 courtesy of a 2-0 win over FC Koln, eight days before edging out RB Leipzig 1-0 on home turf.

With 26 points from 26 games, Bochum are currently 14th in the Bundesliga table, four points above 16th-placed Hertha Berlin in the relegation playoff spot.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart claimed a 1-0 victory over Nurnberg in their DFB Pokal quarter-final clash on Wednesday.

Die Roten now turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they are currently on a five-game winless run, claiming one point from a possible 15 since February’s 3-0 win over Koln.

With 20 points from 26 games, Stuttgart remain rooted to the bottom of the league table, five points off safety.
