Matus Bero - Engine in midfield Bero generated one shot (one on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Wednesday's 1-0 win against FC St. Pauli.

Impact Bero was all over the pitch for Bochum in their victory over St. Pauli on Wednesday. In 90 minutes played, he created the most chances in the match with three, took four corners, and made three passes into the final third. He was also crucial defensively as he won 12 of his 14 duels, won three of his five tackles, and made six recoveries. Bero does not have an assist yet in the Bundesliga this season, but does have three goals in 14 starts. Hopefully, his creativity will translate to tangible output when Bochum battle RB Leipzig on Saturday.

In 90 minutes played, St. Pauli mustered just one shot on target, which Drewes saved, despite having 49 percent of the possession. The keeper also had a good game distribution-wise, completing 12 of his 30 long ball passes. Hopefully Saturday will be another stress-free evening for Drewes as Bochum prepares to host RB Leipzig.

He has shown versatility this season, playing as a left-back, left forward, and attacking midfielder.

Koji Miyoshi - Suspension over Miyoshi has served his suspension and is an option moving forward.

Impact Miyoshi has served his ban after two matches out, clearing his red card suspension. He will likely return to a bench role, as he has only started in five of his 11 appearances, seeing more of a rotational role this campaign.

He was replaced by Jakov Medic, who would likely continue in this spot if Oermann misses time.

Impact Kwarteng is currently set to miss Saturday's clash with an apparent injury. It's not clear how serious the issue is, but the winger isn't fit enough to play after the break. His first chance to return comes on short order for a Wednesday clash with St. Pauli.
