It would be a shame if Bochum were to lose again for the match which will start in the next few hours, because that would keep him at the bottom of the table for much longer. Even though last season Bochum at least struggled to keep the distance from the relegation zone but sometimes Bochum can surprise a strong team, but for now it seems difficult for Bochum to deliver the expected results. If in the next few matches Bochum cannot improve its performance, then of course Bochum has a very high chance of being relegated.
Bochum's record against Freiburg is not bad at all because in last five games they lost just one but sadly in current season their start is the worst in Bundesliga and Freiburg is doing good but at home they already play one game, and they lost this one here in today's match most chances they will win but as Bochum is having record they can surprise all and can steal one point from them because they need to play aggressive which surely give them some better chance of win.
Now it's time to act because if they fail to win today then surely it's going to be terrible for them, and they are going to face Werder Bremen in fifth round which is also having good record and not lost any game in current season.
Bochum played 3 matches till now and lost all of them. They are obviously going to be very determined to win the next match. But the problem is the next match is going to be against Freiburg. And Freiburg started this season quite well with two wins and one loss. Not a perfect start but obviously better compared to what Bochum did. I also don't see Bochum keeping a clean sheet in this match because they scored only 3 goals in three matches and conceded 12. So I think this should be a win for Freiburg.
