Bundesliga - Karlsruhe v Bochum
KARLSRUHER vs BOCHUM
Karlsruher, the new Bundesliga team, qualified last season and surprised us by a good performance as they managed to collect 43 points. IMO this should be considered as success for a new promoted team anywhere in the world. They will be opening the season at home in front of their great fans. It is bad that they could not keep Eggiman and Hajnal who were the biggest actors of last year. They lost against Bochum last year at home but they were a big trouble for the big teams of Bundesliga at their home field. Too bad that Gorlitz, Mutzel and Unger won’t play but striker Kennedy will be there ready to kick the net of Bochum. Bochum could be able to keep most of their players in the club but they did not show a good performance in their prep matches. They only could kick the net 2 times in their last 5 matches. I believe they have serious problems in offense. They are not ready for the new season as they could not be establish their ideal squad and test it enough. The absences of some players will make Bochum’s attacking ways weaker. René Renno (goal keeper) will be absent due to a torn ligament. Danny Fuchs (midfielder) still suffers from a serious inflammation of a tendon in his foot. Joel Epalle (forward, striker) will not be fit against Bochum because of severe problems with his toe. Sinan Kaloglu (forward, striker) had to take part in an analysis of his way of running and will have to wear shoe lifts in future – regarding his fitness he will have to be brought up to the competition. Due to an infection, Marcin Mieciel the forward, striker was not able to take part in all training sessions this week. According to the head coach he is doubtful as Koller said “He took part in today’s training, but we will have to wait for tomorrow to be sure about his state of health”. Well I also want to mention a little about the last match of Bochum against Munster. It was a very stressful for Bochum as they could not be able to burst in 120 minutes and had to go for penalties. Munster did well in counter attack and scared the fans of Bochum.
I believe Karlsruher has enough chance to beat Bochum n their first match of the season. I do not believe Bochum can grab 3 points today, as also the fans of Karsruher will motivate their teams like they always did in last season against their Bundesliga rivals. Good luck.
