Bochum and Schalke to Draw
These two teams are sitting in the relegation zone at the moment, so this is clearly a very important duel for both of them. That being said, Schalke is three points behind Bochum, so perhaps they are more desperate for points right now.
Still, both teams need to chase a win here if they want to improve their chances of survival in Bundesliga. With that in mind, we expect a very close game and we wouldn't be surprised if we see no winner. So, our first Bochum vs Schalke prediction is for the game to end in a draw.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Our second Bochum vs Schalke prediction is for the match to go under 2.5 total goals, even though that only happened twice in the last five head-to-head duels between these teams.
Still, this is a very important match for both teams and we expect them to go into it cautiously. Furthermore, Schalke only averaged 2.64 goals per game in Bundesliga this season, which is the lowest average in the league and with them being the guests here, we expect them to close down and focus on not conceding instead of getting a goal.

Bochum – Schalke Preview: Recent Form, Team News, and Possible Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Bochum vs Schalke lineups.
Bochum
With five losses in the last six Bundesliga matches, Bochum has been far from good form and that has been their story for most of this season, which is why they find themselves in the relegation zone at this moment. The team only has 19 points from 22 games, but on the bright side, they can still secure their place in Bundesliga, if they can improve their form.
Meanwhile, Simon Zoller, Gerrit Holtmann, and Cristian Gamboa remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Anthony Losilla is suspended right now.
Bochum Predicted Lineup:
Riemann – Stafylidis, Ordets, Schlotterbeck, Soares – Kunde, Goralski – Asano, Stoger, Antwi-Adjei – Hofmann
Schalke
After being in seemingly unsalvagable position, Schalke managed to avoid a loss in the last five matches in Bundesliga and while they only have one win in those five games, that is an impressive run for a team in the last place in the standings. Schalke remains last, but they are now just three points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone, so their situation looks much better.
When it comes to team news, Schalke is dealing with a huge injury crisis. After all, Thomas Ouwejan, Sepp van den Berg, Tim Skarke,, Justin Heekeren, Sebastian Polter, and Danny Latza are all out, while Jere Uronen, Soichiro Kozuki, and Niklas Tauer are doubtful.
Schalke Predicted Lineup:
Fährmann – Brunner, Yoshida, Jenz, Matriciani – Kral, Krauss – Drexler, Zalazar, Bulter – Frey

Player to Watch: Phillip Hoffman
While this can be a close duel and we can see it ending without a winner, we can still see some goals being scored, so our player to watch is Phillip Hoffman, the striker for Bochum.
The German forward is the team's top goalscorer this season with seven goals in Bundesliga, so Schalke will have to focus on him when it comes to their defensive efforts.
