Being able to win against a team that is positioned above them is an encouraging thing for Bochum because it is three points that lifts their position from the relegation playoff zone even though there is a chance to go back down because Mainz has the opportunity to get three points which will allow them to get past Union Berlin and also Bochum, for Union Berlin is a bad thing.
Bochum vs Hoffenheim was quite even but the home team managed to take the lead first and Hoffenheim didn't let that happen because they tried to catch up but the two goals they scored in 10 minutes were not enough to make the match end in a draw.
Bochum's victory was like a disaster for Union Berlin because they may have to fight to continue playing in the Bundesliga next season, and facing Borussia Mönchengladbach tomorrow will not be easy for Union Berlin, Union Berlin's performance has worsened again after improving, it's a shame they lost consistency when their position was not yet completely safe from degradation.
Bochum were able to have one very impressive performance against Hoffenheim, this kind of performance was able to give them full 3 points despite the hard fight in that match. Hoffeimheim tried to come close on different occasions but the resilience of Bochum was able to help them get the win.
This kind of win is one seen as a determined and hard fought victory over your opponent. Bochum really needed this win as it was able to help them get off the relegation zone battle and now they have been able to build momentum for the final lapse of the season.
They’re on course to still remain in top flight and with this kind of victory, they are sure to still remain in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim must also be commended for being able to give Bochum a hard fight, I think Bochum got lucky with the early goals and at a point they became bery determined in the match.
This is a big one for Union Berlin as they now get under pressure to be able to get off the relegation zone above Bochum. Union Berlin have been inconsistent lately and their next match will be one difficult one: I think Bochum might be able to save themselves but if Union Berlin loses out this weekend then it’s gameover for them.
