Overview
- Kickoff is set for Friday, 21 November at 18:30 at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion.
- Rösler’s side is unbeaten in five competitive matches and has taken 10 points from four league games since his early October appointment.
- Felix Passlack will start for the suspended Leandro Morgalla, captain Matus Bero is ruled out after an international-foot injury, and Kevin Vogt remains sidelined.
- Dresden has yet to name a starter in goal, with Tim Schreiber fit again after a hand fracture and a solid test outing, and Lennart Grill coming off four straight league starts.
- Rösler anticipates a tight, tactical matchup and says Bochum will need a top display against a defensively organized Dresden that sits near the bottom with seven points from 12 matches.
