Energie Cottbus desperately need points on Sunday, Mar 21 at 1:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

VfL Bochum come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Energie Cottbus travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. VfL Bochum won their last outing, while Energie Cottbus suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours VfL Bochum here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Energie Cottbus, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Energie Cottbus won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives VfL Bochum a slight edge, but Energie Cottbus are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
