Bayern Munich vs Bochum Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 11/02/2023, 02:49  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Prediction

Bayern Munich are up from the lull that highlighted their earlier matches this year and will be looking to extend their lead in Bundesliga when they host Bochum. The champions go into this game with 40 points at the top of the Bundesliga and will face 15th placed Bochum who have 19 points so far. Bayern Munich’s 4-2 away win at Wolfsburg in their last game was a second straight win but the first in four league matches this year. In their opening three league games in 2023, Bayern dropped six points, but they have recovered well in the last two matches, scoring eight goals in them. They thumped Mainz 4-0 in the German Cup before their latest game against Wolfsburg in the league. Bayern’s only concern coming into this game will be the fact that they have just one clean sheet in five matches. Both teams have scored in seven of their eight league matches but they haven't lost a league game in 12 outings. At home, in the Bundesliga, they have no loss this season, and in the last 16 drawing back to last season.

Bochum registered a shock win over Bayern when they met in a corresponding game last season. However, they have a generally poor run against the league giants. In the last 10 meetings with Bayern, Bochum have lost nine. It makes it tougher here that they are coming from three losses in the last four matches. Right ahead of this game, Bochum lost 2-1 to Borussia Dortmund. They had earlier beaten Hoffenhein 5-2 in a league encounter and will hope to bring back that form. Poor as they’ve been in recent matches, Bochum have failed to score in just one of their last seven matches. In six of their last 10 matches in Bundesliga, both teams have scored and six times in the 10 matches, they conceded two or more goals. In the 10 league matches they’ve played away from home this season, Bochum have lost nine.
