Full time! Gladbach 2-0 Bochum
Mid-table Gladbach ended a run of three games without a win, thanks to goals in either half from Jonas Hofmann and Lars Stindl. It's a costly result in the context of Bochum's efforts to avoid relegation. With three rounds of fixtures remaining, they slip to second bottom of the standings, behind the play-off spot occupied by VfB Stuttgart on goal difference.

Gladbach: form
Gladbach have won just one of their last nine in the league and defeat to Stuttgart was their second loss in succession. Their previous loss to Union on Matchday 29, though, was their first at home since MD 16 and each of their two most recent victories have come on home soil.

Bochum: form
Bochum may be without a win in their last five league games but they have lost just two of their previous seven (W2, D3, L2) and are unbeaten in three away from home (W1, D2), which represents their longest run without an away top-flight defeat since their promotion in 2021.

Lacking a cutting edge
Farke will also be worried by Gladbach's miserly output in front of goal, with the Foals scoring just six times in their last nine matches, while registering blanks in five of those fixtures.
Relegation form
Daniel Farke's home team can consider themselves fortunate that their 2022 form was good enough to carry their 2023 effort that has contributed just 14 points so far. For context, Bochum (15) are a point better off so far this year.
Anything you can do...
Gladbach pose a dead-ball danger of their own and, like Bochum, have scored six times from corners so far this term. Only Bayern Munich and Union Berlin (both seven) boast more.
Set-piece threat
Eight of Bochum's 16 league goals in the second half of the campaign has come from set-pieces.
Happy hunting ground
Gladbach has been a profitable destination for Bochum, who have registered a club-record 43 away goals in the Bundesliga against this weekend's hosts and have lost just one of their last eight trips to the Borussia Park (W3, D4, L1), although that defeat did come in their most recent visit.
Losilla's still got it
Bochum skipper Anthony Losilla found the back of the net against Borussia Dortmund last time out at the ripe age of 37 years and 49 days, making him the oldest scorer in both the 2021/22 and 2022/23 campaigns.
Will Bochum escape the drop?
Saturday's meeting pits mid-table Gladbach - mathematically still capable of both relegation and securing a place in Europe, but each are unlikely - against a Bochum outfit occupying 16th going into Matchday 31, with just goal-difference separating them from safety in a big week for the club.
