Bochum vs Werder Bremen prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2022-23

Bochum will host Werder Bremen at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Saturday afternoon in another round of the German Bundesliga.

The Undescendables have endured an abysmal start to their league campaign. They were beaten 1-0 by Freiburg in their last game and could very easily have conceded five on the day as their opponents repeatedly carved them apart.

Bochum sit rock-bottom in the Bundesliga standings with zero points and will be desperate to pick up their first league win of the season here.

Werder Bremen, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the Bundesliga this season. They were beaten 4-3 by Eintracht Frankfurt in their last game, falling behind, taking the lead and then going behind once again in an end-to-end clash at the Weserstadion.

Bochum vs Werder Bremen Prediction

The hosts are on a four-game losing streak and have failed to score any goals in their last two outings. They have the worst defensive record in the league this season and could struggle here.

Bremen's latest result ended a four-game unbeaten run and they will be looking to bounce back here. The visitors are in much better form ahead of the midweek clash and should come out on top.

Prediction: Bochum 0-1 Werder Bremen
