Vfl Bochum sackt tiefer in the Bundesliga table, meets Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday
Bochum's poor run of form continues
VfL Bochum's poor run of form continued on Saturday as they were beaten 2-0 at home by FC Augsburg. The defeat leaves Bochum 17th in the Bundesliga table, just one point above the relegation play-off place.
Bochum's struggles continue
Following Saturday's home defeat to Augsburg, Bochum has now won just one of their last eight Bundesliga matches. They have also failed to score in their last three games.
Bochum's struggles are in part due to a lack of goals. They have scored just 20 goals in 20 Bundesliga matches this season, the second-lowest tally in the division.
Bochum's next match is at home to Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday. Dortmund is third in the Bundesliga table and will be looking to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat to RB Leipzig on Saturday.
Bochum's hopes of avoiding relegation
Bochum's hopes of avoiding relegation are now hanging by a thread. They are just one point above the relegation play-off place and have a difficult run of fixtures to come.
Bochum's next three matches are against Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, and Bayern Munich. If they can't pick up points in these games, they could find themselves in serious trouble.
