Schalke 04 were denied their first win of the new Bundesliga campaign as they were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Stuttgart last Saturday.

They have now picked up three wins and lost two of their opening five league games, with their last win coming on July 31 when they beat Bremer SV 5-0 in the DFB Pokal.

Schalke’s next task pits them against a Bochum side who are winless in their last five meetings, losing three and claiming two draws since a 2-1 victory in 2009.

They have now lost their first five league games of the season, scoring three goals and shipping 15 in that time.

Bochum head into the weekend on a run of two wins from their last 10 away games in the Bundesliga, losing six and claiming two draws since the turn of the year.
