This would be the seventh time VfL Bochum has been relegated from the Bundesliga, after they were there for three years. Unfortunately, VfL Bochum's interim coach Heiko Butscher will have to play without goalkeeper Manuel Riemann and defender Bernardo, who are both out for internal reasons. On the other hand, Fortuna Düsseldorf's successful lineup from the first leg will remain the same.
