VfL Bochum will be aiming to avoid successive defeats when they host Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, ended a winless streak of 16 matches in all competitions to move out of the relegation zone last weekend.
Hoffenheim had led 2-0 at half time through Erhan Masovic's own goal and Andrej Kramaric's strike. Ihlas Bebou sealed all three points for his side by scoring with 14 minutes of normal time remaining, before Goncalo Paciencia snatched a consolation goal for the visitors in the last minute.
There is certainly no reason for Letsch and his players to panic, as they had only tasted defeat in one of their previous seven matches. However, ahead of this weekend's action, only Mainz 05 have won fewer matches than Bochum's tally of two victories from 14 matches.
As such, it is little surprise that they find themselves only three points clear of the relegation zone before facing Union Berlin on Saturday. Falling to another loss would actually see their opponents leapfrog them in the table on goal difference.
