After spending 11 seasons in Bundesliga 2, Bochum arrived in the German top-flight division in the 2021/22 season. Since their arrival, they were among the worst teams in the league and fairly close to relegation. Last season, they avoided relegation playout by only two points due to a strong end of the season, where they won seven points in the last three rounds. This season, their primary goal is to avoid relegation, but after three rounds, they won just two points and currently sit in 13th place.
Eintracht Frankfurt have mostly been in the upper half of the league table in recent years. Last season, they finished 7th and barely secured Europe, leaving Wolfsburg just one point behind. Over the Summer, the club sold key players: Randal Kolo Muani, Jesper Lindstrom, Djibril Sow, Daichi Kamada, Evan Ndicka... They did add replacements, but on paper, they look a lot weaker. At the moment, they are 10th with five points in three rounds.
Bochum vs Eintracht Frankfurt pick: Both teams to score
Last season, Bochum were the worst defensive team in the league, with 72 conceded goals in 34 rounds - 2.11 per game. They continued with poor defensive displays this season with eight conceded goals in three Bundesliga games, along with two allowed goals vs Arminia Bielefeld in the Cup. It is evident this team will again be among the worst defensive teams, so we can't trust them to keep a clean sheet vs anyone. Offensively, they are not a great team, but still, at home, they rarely fail to score. In the last eight home games (this and the previous season combined), Bochum scored at least one goal.
Even though Eintracht Frankfurt looks a lot weaker this season, especially on the offensive end, they managed to score in all six games. So, it is fair to expect a goal against one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Defensively, they had some good displays, but not on the road. Away from home, they constantly struggled to keep a clean sheet and did so just once in the last 20 games. However, that was vs the regionalliga team - Lokomotive Leipzig.
In the previous h2h game, we have seen a 1:1 draw.

Bochum team news
Striker Goncalo Paciencia, who arrived from Celta Vigo over the Summer, still hasn't played a match for Bochum. However, according to coach Thomas Letsch, we might see him vs Frankfurt, at least for limited minutes.
Mats Pannewig, Luis Hartwig, Michael Esser, Lys Mousset, and Mohammed Tolba are also out with injuries, but no one of them should be an important part of the rotation this season.
Stiker Takuma Asano is in very good form, scoring three goals in the last two games. He scored two goals vs Augsburg and also scored one for the national team (Japan) vs Germany.

Eintracht Frankfurt team news
A right midfielder, Ansgar Knauff, served his suspension against FC Koln and should be available for the upcoming game.
Mehdi Loune is ruled out with an ACL injury and will be sidelined until February 2024.
Striker Lucas Alario, who arrived from Bayer Leverkusen over the Summer, is close to returning to the pitch after a knee injury. He was on the bench in the previous friendly match vs Wehen. Still, he will most likely miss at least a few more games before we see him on the pitch.
Midfielder Kristijan Jakic suffered an injury in the Europa Conference League vs Levski Sofia and missed the FC Koln game with a concussion. Still, it looks like he recovered since he played 90 minutes in a friendly match against Wehen.
