Bochum and Hertha Berlin kick off 2. Bundesliga season
The new 2. Bundesliga season commences with a clash between Bochum and Hertha Berlin at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion. Both sides will be looking to start their campaign with a positive result as they aim for success in the upcoming league campaign.
Philipp Hofmann is expected to lead the line for Bochum, supported by fellow forwards Gerrit Holtmann and Christian Rasmussen. The midfield is likely to feature Berkan Taz, Jean Manuel Mbom, and Enis Cokaj, providing a blend of creativity and defensive stability. The defence is anticipated to be marshalled by Oliver Olsen, Michael Steinwender, Karol Mets, and Kacper Koscierski, with Timo Horn in goal.
Hertha Berlin's attacking impetus is expected to come from Sebastian Groenning and Luca Schuler, with Josip Brekalo also a threat. Oluwaseun Adewumi, Boris Lum, and Paul Seguin are set to form the midfield engine room. In defence, Julian Eitschberger, Marton Dardai, Pascal Klemens, and Linus Gechter will aim to provide a solid platform, with Konstantin Heide between the posts.
Bochum's pre-season saw them secure a goalless draw with Sheffield United and a 2-0 victory over Swansea City, alongside a 1-1 draw with Ajax. Their final matches of the previous 2. Bundesliga season saw them pick up a win against Karlsruher SC and draws against Hannover 96 and Arminia Bielefeld. Hertha Berlin, meanwhile, drew 2-2 with FC Koeln and won 3-2 against WSG Tirol in their recent friendly matches. Their previous league campaign concluded with a significant 6-1 loss to Arminia Bielefeld, preceded by a 2-1 win over Greuther Fuerth.
The head-to-head record between these two clubs shows a history of closely contested matches. In their most recent 2. Bundesliga meeting on 14 March 2026, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Bochum secured a 3-2 victory in their earlier encounter during the 2025-26 season. Their Bundesliga clashes in the 2022-23 season also saw draws, with Bochum winning one of their previous encounters.
