Full-time: Augsburg 1-0 Bochum

In a hard-fought encounter at the WWK Arena, Augsburg ran out 1-0 winners thanks to Phillip Tietz's first-half spot-kick. Although Bochum can take solace from a strong defensive display, their difficulties creating chances going forward meant that they suffered a tenth defeat of the season. They stay bottom while Augsburg climb to provisional 13th.

Holtmann gives a glimpse

The Bochum man finds space on the left and lashes a ball - neither shot nor cross - across the face of goal. A bit more precision would have brought a lot of danger...

Cutting edge required

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).

While FCA are on target, there is still too little coming from the guests. They have not had a shot on target since the break. This is also confirmed by the xGoals.

Drewes on guard

Wolf fires his corner directly at goal, but the Bochum keeper is vigilant and palms it away.

Hofmann unmarked

The striker is able to control a long pass inhindered, but can't keep it down. He is also unmarked when a sharp through-pass is played. Augsburg will need to watch out...

Even stevens

It's neck and neck in the early stages of the second term, with neither side able to set the other on the back foot.

We're back!

Bochum get the ball rolling for the second half, the visitors looking to get back into this match and breathe some life into their campaign. Coach Hecking has brought on Bernardo to replace central defender Oermann.

Half-time: Augsburg 1-0 Bochum

One-nil up thanks to Tietz's spot-kick, Augsburg are on track for a first-ever home win over Bochum, but this hotly contested match has been no walk in the park for Jess Thorup's men so far and Bochum will doubtless give it their all to level things up in the second half.

Passlack again

After superb switch of play from Daschner, Passlack controls well but his effort from just outside the area fails to hit the target.

77 %

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.

86.9 km/h

Distance to Goal

32'

Clear advantage

The hosts are taking considerably less time to win back possession.

32'

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Claude-Maurice fluffs his lines

Following a free-kick into the area that is nodded on to the far post, an unmarked Claude-Maurice seems set to bang it home until he misses his shot. In any case, the linesman's flag had gone up for offside.

Loggerheads

Neither side has really managed to impose their game or get a clear-cut chance on goal just yet. A dogged midfield battle is unfolding...

Daschner volleys

Latching onto a loose ball on the edge of the area, Daschner whips in a shot but the first-time effort goes well wide.

Broschinski has a crack

The winger cuts inside and tries his luck, but his powerful shot flies past the far post.

Passlack looking lively

The wing-back crosses for Hofmann, who looks to get the ball into a more central position, but Matsima pounces to clear.

Quiet start

No real chances early but Bochum are holding their own.

First shot

Claude-Maurice opts for a speculative effort from outside the area, but this first shot of the match is under-hit and no trouble for Drewes.

We're under way!

The hosts, decked out in white, kick off against Bochum in their navy blue kits.

Kick-off!

Not long now

Just minutes until this potential six-pointer at the bottom end of the table gets under way. Which side will strike a blow in their 2024/25 campaign? Stick around to find out!

Strong record

As they look for that elusive first win, Bochum can take comfort from the fact that they have never lost in Augsburg; their record at the WWK stands at three wins and one draw.

Goals expected

The crowd at the WWK Arena should prepare themselves for goals today: while Bochum have scored ten in their 11 matches so far this season, they haven't kept a clean sheet in 27 league outings.

Augsburg gearing up

Looking for a first win in four Bundesliga outings to stop their slide towards the drop zone, FC Augsburg will need a solid display against bottom side Bochum.

Jess Thorup on Bochum

"It will be hard work. We know our strengths and are happy that we can play in front of our great fans again. Nevertheless, we must not underestimate Bochum, it will be anything but easy, they have improved significantly defensively in recent games."

Dieter Hecking on Augsburg

"Augsburg have a positive home record. It's always unpleasant to play there. Very physical, very present. They go for the second balls. They have a good mix, because there's a lot of individual quality there too."

Highlights: Bochum 1-1 Augsburg - previous meeting

Moritz Broschinski scored a superb overhead kick as the sides shared the spoils when they last met in February.

Busy keeper

Augsburg goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic made more saves than any other goalkeeper in a match this season against Bayern Munich last weekend (11).

Slow start

Bochum have two points in their opening 11 matches. Only one side in Bundesliga history have fared worse by this stage of the campaign - SpVgg Greuther Fürth, who had a single point after Matchday 11 of 2021/22. They will be hoping to build on signs of improvement under new coach Dieter Hecking to add to that low tally.

Home and away

Augsburg are unbeaten in their past three home matches and have collected 11 of their 12 points so far this season in front of their own fans. Bochum have lost all six of their away fixtures to date in this season's Bundesliga.

2:03

Watch: Bayern Munich 3-0 Augsburg - highlights

Having lost 3-0 to local rivals Bayern last time out, Augsburg will be looking to make amends on Matchday 12. Augsburg currently sit in 14th, with just one win in their last five.

2:03

Watch: VfB Stuttgart 2-0 Bochum - highlights

Bochum's miserable start to the season continued with defeat at Stuttgart. The rock-bottom Ruhr club remain winless after 11 matches, with some eight points to make up on outright safety.
