“Special situation” – Antwi-Adjei on the relegation thriller against Augsburg.

Tactics were yesterday. In the last three games, everyone knows what’s what. Also VfL Bochum, who have to win against FC Augsburg Otherwise the 2nd Bundesliga threatens.

After seven away defeats in a row in the Bundesliga, VfL Bochum showed FC Augsburg that they can do it away from home. The score was 1:0 after 90 minutes.

Goal scorer in Augsburg: Christopher Antwi-Adjei. He is one of the VfL’s regulars this season. 26 appearances, two goals, seven assists, that’s his record.

The goal in Augsburg was certainly one of the most important in the 29-year-old’s career. But the return match against FC Augsburg on Saturday (13 May, 15:30) will definitely be even more important.

In the relegation battle, VfL must score after the results of the last few weeks. There is no other option. If Bochum doesn’t win the game, it will become increasingly difficult to close the gap.

Because there are only three matchdays left, after the Augsburg game VfL has to play Hertha BSC, on the last matchday the top team Bayer Leverkusen comes to the Ruhrstadion.

There aren’t many ways we can play this game

Antwi-Adjei stresses ahead of Saturday’s 90 minutes, “It’s a completely different situation to the first leg, there are only three matches left. There are not many ways we can contest the game. We have to look to get the three points.”

VfB Stuttgart, who are level on points in the relegation places, have a home game against Leverkusen on Sunday. It’s also a tough task, though Bayer don’t play their Europa League semi-final at AS Roma until Thursday night.

Schalke, in 15th place, play at Bayern, so this could be an opportunity to overtake Schalke with a treble. The head will certainly also play a role in the final games. Because whenever VfL went into a match as favourites, the points were not taken. Like at home against Schalke or Stuttgart. Antwi-Adjei: “We dropped points there, that’s obvious. It wasn’t that we didn’t want to or didn’t show any commitment. I don’t know why it didn’t work out. “
