Thomas Letsch’s men have now picked up three wins and one draw in their four matches since the turn of the year, with their last defeat coming on December 20, when they were beaten 4-0 by Bayer Leverkusen.

With 20 points from 14 matches, Bochum are currently 14th in the league standings, level on points with Werder Bremen and Borussia Monchengladbach.
