Stats for this game

Matchup VfL Bochum VS Karlsruher SC

Bochum answer in Karlsruhe

VfL Bochum have won both of the meetings played in Karlsruhe. They took a 1-0 victory there on 27 September 2020 and returned to win 2-1 on 17 May 2026. The margins are small, but the two away results show Bochum can handle the setting without relying on a wide scoreline. Karlsruhe’s ground therefore offers no automatic protection.

Karlsruhe keep their own response

Karlsruher SC won 2-1 away at Bochum on 31 January 2021, turning the balance back in a narrow contest. The teams then drew 2-2 in Bochum on 20 December 2025, adding an open result without a winner. Together, those scores show that Karlsruhe can succeed on the road and that the fixture can also resist separation when Bochum host.

Margins leave the matchup open

Bochum’s two away wins and Karlsruhe’s road response form a tight exchange, while the draw complicates any simple order. Future meetings can turn on another one-goal margin or a more open stalemate. No fixed venue script is supported by these results.
