The upcoming 30th round of the German Bundesliga offers the interesting match between relegation battler VfL Bochum and troubled Hamburger SV.
After 24 match days VfL Bochum was in a comfortable situation, because the side of coach Heiko Herrlich was unbeaten in eight rounds. Meanwhile, the club from Ruhr Valley drew four times in his past five games the short straw. The distance to the relegation place melted down to three points. After all, Bochum could achieve a partial success in a relegation battle against SC Freiburg (1:1). The last win in the league succeeded the Westphalians in mid-February, as TSG Hoffenheim has been defeated at home 2:1.
The opponent Hamburger SV carves out a varied life. While in the UEFA Europe League Bruno Labbadia's side stormed over Standard Liège into the semi-finals, HSV dwindles in the Bundesliga more and more to an average squad. Although the Hanseatic still rank on the last European Cup starting place, but the rivals are fast approaching. A sideshow was initialized by Paolo Guerrero, who has been suspended by DFB sports court for five games after his bottle throw in the game against Hannover 96. Thus, the Peruvian is no longer available for Hamburg in this season.
