Bochum vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 19/08/2022, 00:29  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions

Bochum have had a tough start to the Bundesliga and it is not about to get easier, with a home game against champions Bayern Munich up next for them. Ahead of this game, Bochum have no point, and are second from bottom while Bayern Munich, on six points, are top of the league standings. Bochum started their season with a win over Viktoria Berlin in the German Cup but have so far failed to follow up on that, losing their opening two league games. Their 3-2 defeat to Hoffenheim in the last game was particularly painful as they blew a 2-0 lead. Having conceded five times in their opening two matches will prove heavy for them going into this game against Bayern Munich, and especially the fact that they have just one clean sheet in the last five matches. Bochum have conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches and each of their last five has produced over 2.5 goals.

In the last meeting between these two sides, Bochum registered a shock 4-2 win over Bayern Munich. The champions will be keen to avoid a repeat of that and as they go into this game, they will majorly be worried about their defending, having managed just one clean sheet in the last five matches. Bayern have registered three straight wins in their opening competitive games, beating Leipzig in the Super Cup then Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. In those three matches, they’ve scored 13 times and this is the run they take to Bochum. They’ve always made up for their lack of solidity in defence by scoring a lot of goals on the other end and with only one clean sheet in six league games, we could see the same here. In the last 10 meetings with Bochum, both sides have scored in seven.
