After three seasons in the topflight, Bochum are back in Bundesliga 2, and their journey starts with an away game at Darmstadt. This encounter will be staged on Saturday, and below we have a prediction for the match.
Darmstadt finished 12th last season in Bundesliga 2 and will be keen on a better run this term. They completed last season on a winning note and went on to win four of their five preseason friendly matches.
The last time these two sides faced off was in the 2023/2024 season in the Bundesliga before Darmstadt’s relegation. Darmstadt won the last meeting in Bundesliga 2. The 3-1 win in 2021 remains their only victory in the last 10 against Bochum.
Bochum are targeting a swift return to the Bundesliga and will be happy to start off against an opponent they’ve lately dominated. In their last 10 meetings with Darmstadt, Bochum won five.
Four of their last seven meetings ended in draws, though. Bochum played eight preseason friendly matches to shape up for the new campaign and won four.
After losing 21 of their 34 league matches last season, they will be targeting a better performance this time. In competitive action, they managed just three wins in their last 10 away matches. in that run. They lost four and drew three times.
