Two sides only separated by goal difference at the bottom end of the Bundesliga table will square off in an important contest on Sunday, as VfL Bochum entertain Werder Bremen.
The teams each boast a six-point lead over the drop zone with the hosts sat 14th after a defeat last time out and aiming to jump back above their visitors.
We say: VfL Bochum 1-1 Werder Bremen
We anticipate a tight contest on Sunday between two sides who sit level on points and will be desperate to avoid a harmful defeat.
Werder Bremen return to action with more momentum but are yet to win on the road this season, and we anticipate the teams sharing the points and maintaining a healthy lead over the relegation zone at the hallway point of the season.

Returning to action for the first time since the turn of the year, Stuttgart will travel to take on Borussia Monchengladbach on Sunday.
The visitors will aim to strengthen their position in third place in the Bundesliga table, while their hosts sit 12th following a dip in form before the break.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 0-2 Stuttgart
Stuttgart are certainly missing some of their attacking thrust without Guirassy as well as Silas, but they do boast a squad full of quality which has shone so far this season, and we still back them to come out on top against a Borussia Monchengladbach side who are yet to find any form this term.
