Overview
- Bochum host Dynamo Dresden at Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Friday at 18:30 CET, live on Sky.
- Right-back Felix Passlack starts for the suspended Leandro Morgalla; center-back Kevin Vogt remains out after knee surgery.
- Captain Matus Bero returned from Slovakia duty with a foot injury and is a doubt for selection.
- Rösler’s side are unbeaten in five competitive games, including a 1–0 DFB-Pokal win at Augsburg and a 2–0 league victory at Braunschweig, though the latter saw Braunschweig lead most key metrics.
- Rösler anticipates a tight, tactical game against a disciplined 4-4-2, while Dresden — second-bottom — seeks to halt the streak after a 3–0 test win as Bochum’s rotated XI lost 1–4 to Osnabrück.
