After the last four Bundesliga home defeats in a row, Eintracht Frankfurt’s upcoming duel with VfL Bochum is primarily about preventing a new negative record of five home defeats in a row with all their might. The match of the 26th match day of the Bundesliga will kick off on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
It is quite strange that the SGE did not suffer a single defeat in their own stadium in the entire past season and is now on the verge of setting a negative club record with five home defeats in a row this season. But since the turn of the year, things just haven’t been running smoothly for the Adler. Five out of eight Bundesliga games in 2022 were lost, the promoted team from Bochum has scored five points more than Eintracht since the winter break.
You can now find out whether we see VfL at an advantage on Sunday and what other predictions we would make about this game in our Frankfurt vs. Bochum tip.
Frankfurt – Bochum information
- Date & Time: 03/13/2022, 5:30 p.m
- Venue: Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt)
- Competition: Bundesliga, 26th matchday
- TV broadcast: DAZN
In the 12 away games played by VfL Bochum so far, it has only happened twice that more than three goals have been scored – 7-0 in Munich and 2-3 in Augsburg. Apart from that, VfL has lost most of the time, but never conceded many goals. But he was only very rarely successful abroad. Apart from the 2-3 in Augsburg, Bochum have only scored five goals in eleven away games, never more than one per game. Since Frankfurt have been struggling offensively in recent weeks, we are firmly convinced of a maximum of three goals in the game.

Frankfurt Form & Balance Check
As mentioned above, another defeat against Bochum threatens to set Eintracht Frankfurt a new negative record for consecutive home defeats in the Bundesliga. On closer inspection, however, it is noticeable that the current accumulation of defeats is not only due to the inability of the eagles, but also to a bit of bad luck and a lack of luck. After three home wins in a row, Frankfurt were 2-0 up to the 71st minute against BVB on January 8th, but lost the game 2-3 in the end. The first of the four defeats would definitely have been avoidable.
3rd competitive win or 5th home defeat in a row?
The 2-0 defeat against Bielefeld followed in their own stadium, in which the SGE simply never found their way into the game after conceding early goals (5th, 27th). The performance against Wolfsburg was by no means satisfactory, but the 2-0 defeat was quite unfortunate in view of a penalty goal conceded (28th) and the extremely late decision (90th). In the most recent home game against FC Bayern, the Adler put up a great fight against the record champions, but still narrowly lost in the end with a late goal in the 71st minute. But with the 4-1 thrashing of Hertha BSC and the 2-1 away win at Betis Sevilla in the Europa League, the Adler have now created the perfect conditions to avert Bochum’s fifth home bankruptcy in a row.
Frankfurt Facts & Analysis
- 34 points from 25 games
- Most recently won 4-1 at Hertha BSC
- Lost last 4 home games (5 would be record)
- Won the last 2 competitive games
–
Bochum may not have won against any other club in the Bundesliga as often as against Frankfurt (24 times), but they have all lost their last four competitive games at Eintracht. We believe that Frankfurt will also prevail on Sunday. The Eagles absolutely want to prevent the negative record and after the successes at Hertha BSC (4:1) and Betis Sevilla (2:1) they have gained enough self-confidence to be successful again in front of their home crowd.

Bochum Form & Balance Check
Slowly but surely, the champagne bottles for the non-relegation party can be chilled for the guests from Bochum. After the win against Greuther Fürth, VfL now has an impressive 32 points on their account and with this result after 25 matchdays no club has ever been relegated from the Bundesliga at the end of the season. The lead over the relegation place is currently nine points and since the team has made a very solid impression, especially in the last few weeks, staying up in the league should actually only be a matter of form.
Does VfL do it like in the first half of the season?
Of the last eight games, Thomas Reis’ team has only lost the home game against the best-formed team in the league, RB Leipzig, and the away game against the strong team from Mainz – each with 0-1. Apart from that, there was a draw against 1. FC Köln (2:2), three home wins against Wolfsburg (1:0), Bayern (4:2) and Fürth (2:1) and two points shared at Hertha BSC (1: 1) and VfB Stuttgart (1:1). In Frankfurt, Bochum now want to repeat exactly what they did in the first half of the season. With the 2-0 home win against Frankfurt, immediately after the 1-0 away win in Fürth, they scored twice in a row for the first time this season.
Bochum Facts & Analysis
- 32 points from 25 games
- Most recently won 2-1 against Fürth
- Only lost 1 of the last 6 games
- Haven’t won any of the last 4 away games
As already mentioned, we expect a hard-fought and low-scoring game. The game could pick up speed over time, but we expect few highlights, especially in the early stages, and think a draw at the break is very possible.

With the SGE there are actually no question marks regarding the line-up. We don’t expect any changes compared to the 1:4 in Berlin. Ansgar Knauff should be preferred again on the right side. Only Diant Ramaj and Ragner Ache are still injured.
On the VfL side, Christopher Antwi-Adjej could start again on the right flank. Otherwise, Takuma Asano could also return to the starting XI. We’re counting on Eduard Löwen at headquarters, but Milos Pantovic could also play. Apart from that, there is actually no question mark behind any position, since with Danilo Soares, Michael Esser, Maxim Leitsch and Luis Hartwig four players are missing due to corona. In addition, Cristian Gamboa is suspended.
Bruno #Esser and Maxim #leitsch could return against Gladbach. At Danilo #Soares we have to wait. At least he now has time to recover from his muscular problems. pic.twitter.com/kNZAEpeZCq
