For the todays game between Hertha Berlin and Bochum i dont know how to place my bet , normaly i would say Bochum!
But this kind of matches its possible that Berlin win at home but i will guess i will go with Bochum.
Dont know if that last Weekend break have brought some performance boost for the teams.
Bochum looks like is a bit better in my opinion.
But the bookmakers rate Bochum as an outsider in this match, the odds of its victory are 3.3, while Hertha's victory is estimated at 2.25. I think that Hertha is strong at home and is unlikely to lose to Bochum, but they can draw, so if I bet, I would bet on BTTS with odds of 1.72 Both teams are having defensive problems so this looks like a safe bet.
Hertha has a greater chance of winning. they played well at home. even against Dortmund, they can win. although it was destroyed by Cologne 1-3 in the match against Bochum, I think Hertha can handle it.
both teams do not have consistent performance. as you said both are problematic in midfield. and I think they also have problems in finishing.
