Bochum under pressure: duel against newly promoted Elversberg on August 10th!
On August 10, 2025, two teams who urgently need something countable will face each other in the Vonovia Ruhrstadion. VfL Bochum welcomes SV 07 Elversberg on the second matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga.

FC Nürnberg and is currently in 7th place in the table.

Bochum had particularly poor performances away from home last season, but they can often hope for a different form at home. Coach Dieter Hecking is aware of this and urgently needs to improve the defense in order to be able to score against Elversberg. Some key players such as Kwarteng, Onyeka and Holtmann were also out at the start of the season; However, Holtmann could return against Elversberg and could provide a breath of fresh air in the attack.
Changes in the dugout

Zeidler, who was originally under contract until the summer of 2026, only managed one point in the first seven Bundesliga games last season. The announcement about the termination of the contract was published on Saturday, and Zeidler has already started a new job at FC Lausanne-Sport WDR reports that ....

If they let themselves down, the road back to the 1st Bundesliga could become even rockier. The football festival against Elversberg promises excitement and could be the turning point for the Bochum team this season.
