Bochum have also been one of the form teams in the league and their recent fine run has propelled them out of the relegation zone.The visitors, however, tend to struggle on their travels and a defeat here could see them slide right back into the dropzone. Goals have proven hard for them away from home but we are backing Bochum to do enough to leave the WWK Arena with a point.Prediction: Augsburg 1-1 Bochum
