Stuttgart vs. Bochum Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Stuttgart and Bochum, taking place on Saturday, 23 November 2024, at MHPArena in Stuttgart.
Stuttgart, Recent Form
The Stuttgart players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 22 attempts on goal, with 11 on target, compared to Eintracht Frankfurt who had 8 attempts and 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Sebastian Hoeneß will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 26 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 9 of their 10 games overall.
They have had a good run of form at MHPArena recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Deniz Undav will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Stuttgart's 10 league games this season.
Bochum, Recent Form
Bochum will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, not least because of the valuable point gained. They achieved 29% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Bayer Leverkusen's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 7 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 23 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 26 games.
Bochum will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 6 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 6 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Bochum, Dani de Wit will be looking to add more goals against Stuttgart in this match.
Stuttgart vs. Bochum Head to head
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Bochum sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-0.
