## Dresden vs Bochum | 2. Bundesliga | 18 April 2026

Dresden sit 15th and are scrapping for survival, though their home record carries genuine threat — they've averaged nearly two goals per game at home this season and kept clean sheets in just 14% of those fixtures. That open, high-stakes style creates conditions where goals tend to flow, and both sides finding the net has been a consistent pattern at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion all season.

Bochum arrive in middling form — two wins in their last five away — and while they've managed a modest away goals return, they've conceded regularly on the road. The limited H2H data slightly favours Dresden, though it carries little weight at this stage.

The data suggests this fixture leans toward a lively, open contest. Both teams have strong BTTS trends, well above the league average, and the goalscoring patterns on both sides point to a game with plenty of action.
