Right idea!
Dangerous ball into the Bochum box from the right, but it goes all the way through. Was that the chance?

Paciencia and Skarke have a bit of a spat that eats away at the clock, doing Darmstadt's fading comeback hopes no favours...

Woodwork!
Nürnberger catches out Riemann with a free-kick from the right-hand side that cannons off the Bochum goalkeeper's left-hand post!
81'
Chance!
It's three-on-two in Bochum's favour, with Bernardo leading the charge. He sprays a pass out to Paciencia, who forces Schuhen into a diving save from the edge of the area. Bernardo can't make use of the rebound. Darmstadt are still in this!
78'
Positive changes
Stojilkovic is on for the 10 men of Darmstadt, who desperately need a goal. Oermann and Paciencia have also joined the action for Bochum.

Darmstadt down to 10!
Not again! They had two men sent off against Bayern, and now Holland's been shown his marching orders for a clear tactical foul on Kwarteng. The Bochum sub was just too quick for the Darmstadt captain.
68'
Chance!
Decent break for Darmstadt. Mehlem shifts it to his left for Nürnberger, who drives a low shot at Riemann from inside the box.
67'
Fresh legs
Vilhelmsson, who scored in the defeat to Leverkusen earlier this season, is on for Kempe.

Double booking
Klarer isn't happy with Gamboa's initial challenge, and joins the Bochum defender in the book for his reaction.

Tactical change
Loosli's come on at left-back, with Osterhage moving inside and Bernardo into a more advanced role.

Big save!
Skarke shakes off the attentions of Gamboa, but Riemann is out quickly to block the incoming shot with his legs. Pfeiffer then takes aim from outside the box, sending a fierce effort just past the left-hand post.
59'
Bochum change
Kwarteng's on to give the Darmstadt defence something else to think about. He scored 10 times for Magdeburg in Bundesliga 2 last season.

Asano at the double!
Bochum restore their lead in Darmstadt! Schuhen's rushed clearance is picked off in midfield; Hofmann holds off his man to touch a pass into Asano, who sends a fabulous swerving strike into the far bottom corner from 18 yards.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed
Shot speed
Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Strong defending
Benardo gets up above Pfeiffer to direct a probing cross behind. Kempe sends in the resultant corner, but it's overcooked and Bochum can clear.

No changes from either side at the break. Who wants it more? Let's find out...

Darmstadt equaliser!
The home side haul themselves level late in the half. Pfeiffer does really well under pressure to knock a controlled header from Mehlem's cross into the path of Nürnberger. It's not an easy chance, but he shows superb precision to guide his header into the corner. Game on!

Asano the danger man
Asano drives up the flank and crosses for Osterhage in the box, but Holland steals in to clear. Crucial intervention!

A goal from nothing
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Bochum lead!
Well, well. The visitors forge ahead, with a bit of good fortune playing it's part. Stöger's attempt at a disguised pass is inadvertently touched towards the six-yard box by Bader. Müller and Schuhen try to clear up, but Asano darts in to tuck the loose ball away.

Post!
The first real chance, and almost the opening goal. Mehlem's attempted pass is deflected into the path of Skarke, who has Riemann beaten with a shot from 18 yards that hits the left-hand post and goes behind off the back of the Bochum goalkeeper's head!

Darmstadt are full of running in the early exchanges, but Bochum are giving as good as they get. Bodes well...

More on those teams
With Maglica and Gjasula suspended, Zimmerman and Müller come into the Darmstadt back three. Otherwise, it's the same XI that started the 8-0 loss to Bayern. Mašović returns in defence in one of three Bochum changes following their 2-2 draw with Mainz. Osterhage is preferred to Soares on the left-hand side, while Hofmann is recalled in attack. Förster makes way.

Leaky defence
Darmstadt have already conceded almost as many goals (30) as they let in during the entire 2022/23 campaign (33), in which they earned promotion from Bundesliga 2.
Unwanted record
Bochum have yet to win this season, making it the first time in their history that they have gone the first nine games of a top-flight campaign without victory. Nevertheless, they still have more points on the board (five) than they did at the same stage last season (four).
History on Darmstadt's side
This will be just the fifth top-flight meeting between these teams, and the first in more than 40 years! Those first four games all took place in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with Darmstadt winning three and Bochum just one.
