VfL Bochum vs RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig have won 10 of their 12 competitive matches in professional football against VfL Bochum (D1 L1); only against Hertha BSC (86%, 12/14) do Leipzig have a higher win rate than against VfL (83%, min. 10 competitive matches). In addition, RB conceded fewer goals against no other team (at least 10 competitive matches) than against VfL (4) - in the first half of the season (1-0), RB kept a clean sheet for the eighth time.

VfL Bochum ended the 2024-25 Bundesliga first half of the season with just nine points and -23 goals - the weakest interim result in the club's history (previously 1992-93: 9 points, -12 goals). However, VfL picked up six of these nine points in the final three matchdays - only Leverkusen and Bayern gained more points (9 each) than Bochum in this period.

VfL Bochum have won two Bundesliga home games in a row for the first time in over a year - the last time VfL did that was in December 2023 (also 2). The last time VfL won three in a row in front of a home crowd was at the turn of the year 2022-2023 under Thomas Letsch (even 5 in a row).

VfL Bochum have gone two Bundesliga home games and 214 minutes without conceding a goal in front of a home crowd. Previously, VfL had not kept a clean sheet in 14 home games across the season. In three games in a row, this has only happened once in the top flight in the last 20 years: in autumn 2021 (3 clean sheets in a row).

RB Leipzig finished the first half of the current Bundesliga season with just 30 points - only twice have they had fewer in the top flight: 2021-22 (22 points) and 2017-18 (28). Leipzig have conceded five defeats in nine Bundesliga games since the start of November 2024 – the same number as in the previous 32 games combined.
