Bochum started the season at a high level, as one of the contenders for relegation and so far continues to gain points relatively stably. By the start of the 15th round, Thomas Rice’s team is on the 10th line in the table with 19 points, going ahead of Augsburg in the relegation zone by six points. This handicap was achieved thanks to a 3:2 victory in a face-to-face meeting over the Fuggers in the last round.
Wolverhampton were determined to be successful on all fronts, but the main challenge was to return to the European competition. The first failure of the team was the defeat in the FA League Cup, where the tramps were eliminated in the first stage, losing to the capital Tottenham. Today the Orange-and-Blacks have thrown all their forces into the national championship. After 15 rounds of the current Premier League tournament, Bruno Laja’s wards have six victories and three peaceful outcomes, which brought 21 points and the eighth position in the standings. The team’s weakest link is the attack line, which has only been distinguished 12 times. By the way, this is the worst indicator in the league. In December the Tramps drew 0:0 at Burnley and lost 0:1 at home against Liverpool. Pain, Mosquera, Johnny, Mosquera and Neto, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
