The Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim have continued their run of poor form, as they suffered a disappointing defeat to VfL Bochum on Saturday. The game was a tight affair, with both sides creating chances but failing to find the back of the net.

Hoffenheim started brightly, with their attacking players causing problems for the Bochum defense. However, they were unable to convert any of their early opportunities and found themselves behind after just six minutes.

Bochum took advantage of Hoffenheim's defensive errors and went ahead shortly before half-time through a well-taken goal from their forward. Despite being reduced to ten men in the second half, Hoffenheim pushed hard to try and level the scoreline.

However, it was Bochum who managed to add another goal late on, sealing the three points for themselves. The result means that Hoffenheim now has a winless streak of five games, which is the longest they have had since their relegation last season.

Despite their recent struggles, Hoffenheim still have the opportunity to climb out of the bottom three if they can pick up some wins soon. However, with such a tough schedule coming up, it will be a challenge for them to turn things around.

Overall, this defeat will be a blow for Hoffenheim, who have been struggling defensively recently. They will need to work on improving their performance in front of goal if they want to avoid further disappointment.
