Hertha BSC open the new 2. Bundesliga season away to VfL Bochum on Friday, seeking to end a run of two consecutive opening-day defeats. The Berlin club have not won a season opener since September 2020 and have failed to beat Bochum in their last five meetings. Hertha also lost several key players this summer, while Bochum largely kept their squad intact. Despite the departures, coach Florian Leitl can field a settled starting lineup, with 20-year-old Soufian Gouram earning only his second professional appearance. Bochum start goalkeeper Manuel Horn.
