This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium.

Bochum enters this round after a 1-0 victory at home against St. Pauli, with the only goal scored by Philipp Hofmann. The home team usually plays in a 3-4-3 formation, with the three forwards being Koji Miyoshi, Gerrit Holtmann, and Philipp Hofmann. The brain of the home team is midfielder Dani de Wit, who is responsible for defining and leading the team's attacking moves.

Anthony Losilla, Tim Oermann, and Mats Pannewig are unavailable for this match due to physical issues.

The away team is currently in the 4th position of the league, with 30 points won, after 9 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Werder Bremen, by (4‑2). In the last match, they lost in an away match against VfB Stuttgart, by (2‑1).

In the last 9 away league matches Leipzig has a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 13 points out of 27 possible.
