Watch: Bochum 3-2 Hoffenheim - previous meeting

Hoffenheim won this fixture 3-1 last season, but lost the return fixture in Bochum 3-2 as a result of a Kevin Stöger brace and a goal from Felix Passlack.

Bochum under pressure already

After narrowly escaping relegation last season, Bochum have started the season slowly and are yet to win a game this season. They have lost five of the opening six games, with their only point coming at home to league newcomers Holstein Kiel.

Hoffenheim hoping for a win

After one defeat, four consecutive losses and one draw, Hoffenheim will look to get back to winning ways at home to Bochum. They did pick up a win in the Europa League before dropping two points late on to Stuttgart, so there are still positives to take from recent results.
