Werder Bremenhost VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga tomorrow afternoon, as both sides look to end a poor run of results in the top flight.

Bochum are in danger of dropping into the bottom two. Just one win in their last five Bundesliga games has meant they sit in the relegation play-off zone, just two points aboveHertha Berlinin the bottom two.

Bremen will be looking to ensure they do not drop into the relegation battle. Ole Werners side have lost back-to-back games 2-0 and will be hoping to bounce back against a struggling Bochum side.

Bochum boss Thomas Letsch will be without captain Anthony Losilla, who was given a straight red card last time out against SC Freiburg.

Simon Zollerand Gerrit Holtmann are also likely to be out for Freiburg, withCristian Gamboaalso sat on the sidelines with a knee injury.

Like Bochum, Bremen boss Werner also has a suspension to deal with.Niklas Starkreceived his fifth yellow card of the season meaning he will be out of the side.

Full-backs Mitchell Weiser andFelix Aguare both likely to miss out again, withJean-Manuel Mbomstill out of the side despite returning to training in the past few weeks.

Pavlenka, Friedl, Velijkovic, Pieper, Jung, Stage, Gruev, Schmid, Schmidt, Ducksch,Fllkrug.(3-5-2)

One determiningfactor for Bochum will be getting the firstgoal of the game againstWerder Bremen.

In all of their last five wins in the Bundesliga,Die Unabsteigbaren have scored the first goal of the game, with tomorrows away side rarely coming back after going a goal down.

Hofmann will be vitalin helping Bochum do that against Bremen.

The former Brentford forward has scored seven goals in the Bundesliga for Saturdays visitors, something which Bochum boss Leckert will hope he can continue against Bremen.

Bremen frontmanFllkrug bagged a brace in the reverse fixture, scoring two goals in the last ten minutes of the game to give Bremen a huge three points at theVonovia Ruhrstadion.

He is Bremens top scorer by quite some margin.Fllkrug has scored 13 goals in the Bundesliga this season, with Bremens next top scorer being his striker partnerMarvin Duckschwith four goals.

If Bremen are to have a comfortable afternoon against Bochum, he will play a big part in that happening.

The match is being played at Werder Bremens wohninvest WESERSTADION.
