VFL Bochum vs FC Augsburg Prediction: Bochum to win and BTTS

In the dynamic world of German football, an intriguing match is on the horizon as Bochum prepares to take on Augsburg in Week 20 of the Bundesliga on 3rd February 2024 at 17:30 (GMT+3).

Set against the backdrop of Vonovia Ruhrstadion in Bochum, this encounter is more than just a regular league game; it's a clash of two teams separated by just one point and a win for either side will be crucial. As these two teams gear up for what promises to be an enthralling showdown, fans can expect a match filled with tactical battles, individual brilliance, and the relentless pursuit of crucial league points.

VfL Bochum's recent form has been mixed but the home form is very impressive. the team has made the Vonovia Ruhrstadion a fortress with no loss in the last five games played in all competitions. Their last few matches include draws against Mainz, FC Koln, Werder Bremen and wins against Wolfsburg and Union Berlin. Bochum has scored 10 goals in the last 5 games played and conceded 5.

Bochum has demonstrated the ability to secure wins but has also experienced some inconsistencies, particularly in away matches.

FC Augsburg's form in the league has also been mixed. They drew against Borussia Dortmund,  lost against Stuttgart, Leverkusen, and ayern Munich, and won 2-1 against Frankfurt.

Augsburg has demonstrated a consistent ability to draw matches, indicating a solid defence but also a struggle to clinch victories. At home, Augsburg tend to score at least one gaol considering their last five games played. 

Both teams will want the 3 points for different reasons. Darmstadt, last on the league table, will want to survive the season no matter how challenging it will be while the Berlin-based club will be aiming for a push-up on the league table.

Given the poor form of Darmstadt, expect Union Berlin to win although the game will be low scoring considering the poor scoring record of Darmstadt and the struggles of Union Berlin.

Considering these factors, a possible prediction might be a 0 - 2 or 0 -1 win for Union Berlin.
