In a weekend match in week 21, on Sat Feb 18th, Bochum will host Freiburg at Vonovia Ruhrstadion in a Bundesliga match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 5 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. Bochum sits at 15th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-3 loss against Bayern München. Thomas Müller scored the first goal for Bayern München in the 41st minute, then Kingsley Coman added another in the 64th minute on a feed from Jamal Musiala In the end, Bochum was frustrated by Bayern München’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bayern München ended the match with the shutout victory. Bochum is looking for direction having 5 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, while freiburg is fresh off their 2-1 win against Stuttgart. Chris Führich scored the first goal for Stuttgart in the 30th minute, then Vincenzo Grifo tied it up for Freiburg in the 60th minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 84th minute on a penalty goal by Vincenzo Grifo to cap off a wild match. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Freiburg should be reasonably happy with their performance.

Vincenzo Grifo scored the first goal for Freiburg in the 48th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Bochum couldn’t manage to score, and Freiburg took the shutout win.
