Germany's Premier Football League - Düsseldorf is looking at its seventh promotion, while Bochum is facing its seventh relegation.
Fortuna Düsseldorf has the chance to earn their second promotion to the Bundesliga by winning their relegation match against VfL Bochum. If they win the return leg on Monday night (8:30 pm/Sat.1 and Sky), they'll make it to the top league for the seventh time. 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.
