Bochum against Heidenheim: Decision in the relegation battle is approaching!

In an exciting duel in the Bundesliga, VfL Bochum and 1. FC Heidenheim face each other on Sunday, December 22nd, with decisive points in the relegation battle for both teams. VfL Bochum is currently taking the last place in the table with just three points and has not won this season. The last game against Union Berlin ended with a disappointing 1-1, and the protest against the result also causes unrest in the team. Coach Dieter Hecking is under pressure, because the team has only collected two points from six home games and urgently has to score so as not to go further, like Reviersport reported .

The 1. FC Heidenheim, on the other hand, also comes to the Ruhr area with a lean score. With only 10 points in the account, the team ranks in 16th place and has not won a single in the last nine games. The defensive problems are obvious, because 31 goals already testify to a holey defense. Heidenheim recently suffered a painful defeat against Stuttgart, which makes the situation more complicated. Both teams are under pressure, especially Heidenheim hopes for a trend reversal, such as "https://www.welt.de/sport/fussball/bundesliga/article254923240/vfl-bochum-1-fc-heidenheim-heidenheim-will-treit-bundesliga.html"> Welt "> reported .

A look at the history of the duelle shows that Bochum was quite successful against Heidenheim in the past. VfL won nine games of 17 of the meetings, while Heidenheim was able to win four times. Nevertheless, the first duel between the two clubs remains exciting this season, especially in view of the combative situation of both teams. On Sunday, it could decide whether Bochum finally stops the first threesome or whether Heidenheim uses the opportunity to rise from below.
