Only 2 more round to go in the German Bundesliga and Bayern Munchen are on their road to make this an historical season with a spot in the Champions League final reserved and the first chance in getting the domestic league champions title.

They are clear favorites in this match against a struggling VfL Bochum especially as they will play on home field and the stadium will be packed of supporters welcoming them back after eliminating Olympique Lyon in the UCL.

The team has the best home record of all teams in the competition with no less than 11 victories and 4 draws in 16 played so far and a clear goal ratio of 36 scored and only 12 conceded.

VfL Bochum are on a dangerous 16th spot of the Bundesliga table and facing at least a knock-out to remain in the first league. With a total of just 28 points and no victories in the last 10 matches played they could prove as saviors for Hannover who are just one point behind.

Only 4 victories and 4 draws for them in all 16 away matches this season completed by a terrible goal ratio of 14 scored and 26 conceded.

My pick: Bayern Munchen to win (over 2.5 goals)

Table positions: Bochum - 15, Stuttgart - 6

Bochum home table position: 17

Stuttgart away table position: 7

The only match on Friday in day 32 of the German Bundesliga with VfL Stuttgart hoping to continue their winning streak against VfB Bochum and grab a last minute Europa League spot.

Bochum is falling slowly but sorely into the danger zone with only the goal ratio currently separating them from Freiburg and the emotions of a survival knock-out. The team has won only one match in the last 13 played with 6 losses in the past 7 played. If things continue this way their faith may be decided and the second division is close.

Their home statistic is at worst as they get with only 2 matches won and 4 draws in no less 15 played and a negative goal ratio of 18 scored and 30 conceded.

Stuttgart is currently on the 6th spot of the Bundesliga with only 3 points deficit from 4th Borussia Dortmund and one point above Hamburger SV. The team is going through a very good period with 5 victories in the last 5 matches of the competition thaws resulting in a very good morale.

Much improvement in their away play as well with 2 wins in the last 2 trips but the statistic still bares the marks of their poor start with 6 victories and 4 draws in 15 played and a fragile goal ratio of 20 scored and 19 conceded.

My pick: Stuttgart to win

Werder Bremen – Bochum 20 March 2010

Werder last 3 home matches:

Bochum last 3 away matches:

Table positions: Werder -6, Valencia -14

Werder home table position: 10

Bochum away table position: 12

Coming out of a very difficult period for them in terms of results, Werder Bremen is once again in the books for a spot in next season’s European tournament but can’t afford any missed steps especially against lower ranked teams like Bochum.

Werder Bremen managed 3 victories in the last 5 matches played in the Bundesliga, curiously all in away games as at home they finished in draws against though opposition such as Leverkusen and Stuttgart. With this good run they have landed a 6th spot in the table and a total of 42 points, joust one under 5th Hamburger SV and 3 from 4th Borussia Dortmund, 2 of their most likely candidate for for this part of the standings.

The team’s home statistic is very poor, after no less than 12 matches in front of their supporters they gathered only 17 points from 4 victories and 5 draws losing the rest of 5 and displaying a modest goal ratio of 21 scored and 16 conceded, more than one goal received per game.

Bochum is falling dangerous in the table, ending up on the 14th spot before the start of this leg with a total of 27 points, only 4 above Hannover and the danger zone.  More important is the fact that their form has taken a big plunge with no victories in the last 4 matches played in the Bundesliga and losing the last 2 with Wolfsburg and Borussia Dortmund, nonetheless very competitive sides.

Their away statistic strikes as very decent for a team with their problems showing no less than 4 victories and 3 draws in 13 played but not completed with a good goal ratio as they managed to score only 11 and conceded no less than 20 thaws making me belive that this match will be one with quite a few goals.

My pick:  Werder Bremen to win ( over 2.5 goals )

Table positions: Wolfsburg -11, Bochum -13

Wolfsburg home table position: 12

Bochum away table position: 12

Dramatic change for Wolfsburg in terms of play and results lately in all competitions as the team seems to have left behind their poor season so far and a new chance to advance and build on their position is this match against Bochum in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Their victory over Schalke 2 weeks ago marked the end of the incredible 10 game streak without victory for Wolfsburg. The good results continued with a victory by the slightest of margins against Hannover in the domestic league but also the trashing of Villarreal in Europa League that meant the German side advanced in the next phase of the tournament.

The team is still to improve on it’s statistic as at home they have won only 4 matches and ended 2 in draws from 12 played with a negative goal ratio of 25 scored and 28 conceded revealing a real problem in defense.

The draw seems to be the proffered result for Bochum as they finished this way 4 out of the past 5 matches played in the Bundesliga and now the team is on the 13th spot of the table with a total of 27 points.

A very atypical statistic for them as the team seems to play better in away matches than at home managing 4 victories and 3 draws in 12 matches played whilst traveling and as expected a negative goal ratio with 10 scored and 16 conceded.

My pick:  Wolfsburg to win
