7th last season in the Bundesliga , this Hoffenheim team managed to qualify for the Europa League where they got off to a good start by drawing with Midtjylland 1-1 then winning against Dynamo kyiv 2-0. On the other hand, TSG is encountering much more difficulties in the championship at the moment.  In fact, he is only in 16th position in the ranking and is therefore a temporary barrier. That said, after having suffered 4 defeats in a row, the last of which against Union Berlin 2-1 and Werder Bremen 3-4 , Hoffe was finally able to stop this very bad series by taking a point against Stuttgart before the international break 1 -1.For its part, Bochum finds itself in difficulty again at the start of the season after having been able to win, on the wire, its maintenance at the end of a penalty shootout during the play-offs against Fortuna Düsseldorf last May .

Very far from the mark for the moment, the VfL was only able to offer itself a small point during the first 6 days, against a promoted Holstein Kiel 2-2 . But unfortunately for them, this Bochum team quickly fell back, losing against Borussia Dortmund 4-2 then against Wolfsburg 1-3.
