REF’s picks

VfL Bochum hold the upper hand at the Ruhrstadion against an Arminia Bielefeld side struggling for consistency on the road. Bochum's superior home organization and Bielefeld's leaky defense make the hosts a solid selection to secure all three points.

1. 1Bochum boast strong home familiarity and have shown good attacking intent in recent outings.
2. 2Arminia Bielefeld have conceded freely away from home, shipping multiple goals in several recent matches.
3. 3Bochum's lengthy injury list could disrupt their rhythm and leave them vulnerable to a disciplined counter-attack.
