- Competition: Bundesliga
- Date: 11th November 2023
- Kickoff: 17:30 UTC / 18:30 CET
- Venue: Vonovia Ruhrstadion
Koln will continue the search for their first away win of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign when they travel this weekend to the Vonovia Ruhrstadion where they will face Vfl Bochum.
The hosts needed to show a reaction this season after finishing just one place above the relegation zone last season but they have so far failed to do so. Thomas Letsch's side have won just once in ten games this season, suffering four defeats and five games ending in draws. That being said, Die Unabsteigbaren have suffered just one defeat in their last four matches which will be a huge positive ahead of this weekend's match.
Koln meanwhile have not had anything in the form of joy away from home this season. The Billy Goats are one of four teams who have yet to win away from home in the Bundesliga this season. Having won just one point on the road this season - the sole point coming against Eintracht Frankfurt on matchday 3 - Steffen Baumgart's side will need to be near perfect to take three points from this weekend’s game.
Bochum vs FC Köln Betting Tips: Draw and Both teams to score
With both teams currently struggling for form, it's hard to say which side this game will go to. Bochum are also one of the two teams who have played the most draws in the Bundesliga this season.
Recent encounters between Bochum and Koln have provided plenty of entertainment, with at least three goals scored in five of the last seven meetings. Only one of these matches ended without both sides scoring.

Bochum team news
With no injuries to report against Darmstadt last week, Bochum head coach Thomas Letsch is unlikely to make any changes to his starting XI.
The absence of Lys Mousset, Mohammed Tolba, Ivan Ordets, Christopher Antwi-Adjei and Matus Bero through injury comes too soon for Saturday's game.

FC Köln team news
Köln head coach Steffen Baumgart will be able to call on Mathias Olesen, who missed the draw against Augsburg due to suspension.
Philipp Pentke has missed the last four games due to a flesh wound, but the goalkeeper is the only injury concern for the visitors ahead of this weekend's game.
Steffen Tigges led the line last weekend but the 25-year-old could be replaced this weekend by Davie Selke, who has already scored two league goals this season.
