Bundesliga: Hertha Berlin vs Bochum
At 3:30 a.m. Beijing time on February 5, 2022, the 21st round of the Bundesliga, Hertha Berlin will play Bochum at home. Hertha Berlin has been mixed in the middle and lower reaches of the league in recent seasons, and this season's performance has still failed to jump out of this area, after 20 rounds of league, it has achieved 6 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses, ranking 13th in the league with 22 points, and currently only 3 points higher than the relegation zone, which shows that the team still has a certain amount of relegation pressure. From the data point of view, Hertha Berlin scored 22 in the 20 rounds of the league, conceded 42 goals, not only the performance of the attacking end is sluggish, but also the state of the defensive end is even worse, is currently the second most conceded teams in the league, conceding more than 2 goals per game.
Hertha Berlin's recent results have also been very unsatisfactory, and since January this year, the team has not yet tasted victories, losing to Cologne, Berlin Union and Bayern Munich, during which time they have drawn with Wolfsburg, but also with difficult defense. Hertha Berlin's home record this season has also been mediocre, with 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats in 10 league home games, ranking 12th in the league, it is worth noting that the number of goals conceded in the last 3 home games has reached 10, which shows that the problem on the defensive end is still serious.
Bochum is the promotion horse this season, the team last season is the Bundesliga champion to get the promotion place, and in the Bundesliga, the overall performance is acceptable, after 20 rounds of league, achieved 7 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses, ranked 11th in the league with 24 points, currently 5 points higher than the relegation zone, and has not been affected by the pressure of relegation for the time being. From the statistical point of view, Bochum has scored 19 goals in 20 league rounds this season, lost 29, and its offensive and defensive performance is not ideal, with an average of less than 1 goal per game, which is currently the second least team in the league.
Bochum's recent performance has picked up, the team's most recent regular match was at home against Cologne, with 54% possession, 7 shots on target in 15 shots, more than twice as many shots on goal as opponents, and finally shook hands with each other 2-2 with goals from Holtman and Takuma Asano. It is worth chasing that Bochum's away results this season have been very poor, with 2 wins and 8 losses in 10 league games away, and its away position is second to the bottom of the league.
In terms of past matches between the two teams, Hertha Berlin has won 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 regular matches against Bochum, and the past has a clear advantage, and won 3-1 away in the first leg of this season. In terms of recent conditions, Hertha Berlin is in a sluggish state and the back line loopholes are too obvious, while Bochum is in a warmer state, but the ability to fight in different places is also an indisputable fact. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, the performance is slightly ambiguous, and this battle should still beware of the promotion of Ma Bochum to take the points home.
