Bochum can take points from Cottbus

Energie Cottbus have taken just one win from their opening nine league games this season. Their recent run shows four draws and a single loss across the last five fixtures. VfL Bochum sit one place below them after collecting eight points from the same number of matches. The visitors have won three of the last six encounters with Cottbus. Games involving the home side have produced three or more goals in six of their nine outings while Bochum score just 0.7 goals per game on average this season. A tight contest at the Leag Energie Stadion could see the away side claim at least a point if they stay compact at the back and exploit spaces left by Cottbus attacks.
