Bochum have a 21-20 advantage against Hertha Berlin in terms of head to head victories, 15 encounters ending without a winner.
Hosts Solid in Pre-Season
Bochum spent the entire previous season in the lower half of 2. Bundesliga table but ultimately finished in 9th place, seven points above the relegation zone.
Even though the season goals were not met, they decided to stick with the head manager Uwe Rosler who was appointed in late 2025.
Bochum’s results in pre-season are encouraging, registering three wins in six games against Oberhausen 3-2, Antwerp 1-0 and Swansea 2-0, draws against Ajax 1-1 and Sheffield Utd 0-0, while the sole loss was to Werder Bremen 2-0.
Hertha Eyeing Promotion
Unlike the opposition, Hertha Berlin were keeping up with other 2. Bundesliga playoff contenders last season but ultimately finished in 7th place, mainly due to not so great efficiency (47 goals in 34 matches).
They were one of the top performers in the league when it comes to away days, registering eight wins, four draws and five defeats in the previous campaign.
Hertha played series of club friendlies throughout July, starting with four straight wins over Frohnauer 15-0, Lichtenberg 9-0, Lokomotive Leipzig 3-1 and Tirol 3-2, while the last two tests were draws against Mamelodi 1-1 and Koln 2-2.
