Wolfsburg Look to Avoid Defeat at Bochum

Wolfsburg hold third place after eight matches while Bochum sit sixteenth with just seven points. The visitors have recorded three wins and one draw across their last five outings. Bochum have taken one win and one draw in that stretch and average only 0.3 goals scored per home game. Wolfsburg net 2.5 goals on their travels this season and have five victories in the last eight head-to-head fixtures. Bochum have produced three or more total goals in just two of their eight league matches. Their defence has kept one clean sheet overall and they have failed to score in four games.
