One of Saturday's games in the German Bundesliga sees big boys Bayern play host to Bochum, who despite still being in a relegation scrap, have improved of late and may fancy themselves to outplay their rather chunky odds against a Bayern team that has not only had less time to prepare thanks to UEFA Champions League involvement but has bigger upcoming tasks to worry about. 

The hosts got the job done during the week, beating Leverkusen in the Champions League, but they've still got the second leg to think about there, while they've not had much time to prepare for this game. At least, not as much as their visitors, who are focused solely on the league right now. Of course, Vincent Kompany's men have more than enough quality to win this game, and it's not as if they've been short of home wins of late, winning nine of their last ten at home in all competitions. 

For Bochum, it's all about survival and after some positive recent results, thanks to some seemingly shrewd mid-season acquisitions in the transfer market, they've definitely got a chance of staying up. As they look to take all the points they can get, they couldn't sneak a result here, could they?
