Bochum will host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Saturday (October 8) in the Bundesliga.
The Blues have endured an abysmal start to their campaign, resulting in the dismissal of manager Thomas Reis. Former Vitesse boss Thomas Letsch is the new manager, but the German's start to life did not go as planned. That's because Bochum were beaten 4-0 by RB Leipzig, managing just two shots. Bochum are rock-bottom in the standings with just one point from eight games.
Frankfurt, meanwhile, had a rather sluggish start to their season but have now found form. They beat league leaders Union Berlin 2-0 in their last league outing, thanks to first-half goals from Mario Gotze and Jesper Lindstrom. Frankfurt then played out a goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week.
The visitors are sixth in the Bundesliga standings with 14 points from eight games. A win this weekend will see them enter the Champions League spots for the first time this season.

Bochum are without a league win this season, losing seven of their eight games. They have won just one of their last eight Bundesliga games at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion and could struggle here.
