In this week 11 match on the 23rd of October, Bochum will host Union Berlin in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Bundesliga teams.

In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Elversberg. Losilla scored the first goal for Bochum in the 85th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Elversberg was frustrated by Bochum’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bochum ended the match with the shutout victory.
