Bochum has often been an obstacle to wins for the top teams and this time they managed to draw against Union Berlin away. Surely this is not the result that Union Berlin wanted because they could not get an additional three important points so they could be closer to Dortmund. On the other hand, Bochum must win the game next week to be safer from the relegation zone. A few notes added to the results of this match, previously Bochum managed to beat Leipzig and also held Frankfurt and lost only 1 time in the last 5 matches of the bundesliga, so I think Bochum has had quite significant results in its last few matches.
Same it is in other leagues. I believe before now, leading teams should have learnt enough lessons. Top clubs in different league are having tough time in securing win against teams in the relegation zones. Arsenal today against Westham nearly lose all the points, Barcelona managed to go with a draw after the whole struggles. I new Bochum wouldn't be an easy side but I wasn't expecting such performance from union Berlin after having a poor result in their last match. The performance against Bochum was below expectations.
I personally think this is happening because the top teams are actually taking the teams which are at the bottom will be easy opponents. But that is the reason why those big teams are getting surprised. If you think something is going to be easy, you are not going to be ready for it. Arsenal is currently in a spot of bother. Because if Manchester City is able to win the next match, there will be only one point difference between Arsenal and Manchester City. Arsenal is making it really hard for themselves to win the title.
