Bochum preview: Fighting for survival

After losing three games in a row, Bochum find themselves in the relegation zone and they are one of the main candidates to go down this season. That being said, Bochum are just two points behind Heidenheim in the spot that leads to the relegation playoffs and six points behind the first team fully outside of the relegation zone.

Matus Bero and Gerrit Holtmann are questionable for this match, while Koji Miyoshi is out for sure.

Predicted lineup: Horn (GK), Oermann, Ordets, Bernardo, Passlack, Losilla, Sissoko, Krauss, Wittek, Hofmann & Boadu

Augsburg preview: Bound for a mid-table finish?

After an impressive streak of 11 games without a loss in the Bundesliga, Augsburg fell to Bayern Munich in the last round, ending this streak.

Meanwhile, Cedric Zesiger will have to serve a suspension in this match, while le Reece Oxford, Yusuf Kabadayi, and Robert Gummy are on Augsburg's injury list.

Predicted lineup: Dahmen (GK), Matsima, Gouweleeuw, Schlotterbeck, Wolf, Onyeka, Jakic, Giannoulis, Jensen, Claude-Maurice & Essende

Player to watch: Alexis Claude-Maurice

With nine goals in the Bundesliga this season, the French forward has been Ausgburg's top scorer in the league and one of their most consistent performers, at least when it comes to their offence.
