BOCHUM
A 1-1 draw away to Hertha Berlin last weekend extended Bochum’s Bundesliga run to just one win from their last seven league matches (D3, L3), meaning the newly-promoted outfit could still get sucked into a relegation battle if they don’t improve soon.
Beginning this matchday just three points above the relegation playoff place, perhaps this isn’t the best time to host runaway leaders Bayern Munich then, especially given Bochum’s 7-0 loss in the reverse fixture. That thrashing proved to be Bochum’s heaviest-ever Bundesliga loss. And on top of that No. 1 keeper Manuel Riemann can’t play because of an illness. Michael Esser will replace him in the net.
Though in stark contrast, they’ve taken 72% of their overall points on home soil this campaign (W5, D3, L2) so a return to the Ruhrstadion will be welcomed. Equally as impressive, Bochum have only conceded eight goals over that ten-match stint – the Bundesliga’s second-best home tally .
BAYERN MUNICH
With a superb road record (W8, D1, L1), Bayern are averaging a stunning 3.5 goals per away Bundesliga outing this campaign, and they hold a formidable H2H record too, losing just once across 31 previous fixtures with Bochum (W23, D7), including eight straight away H2H victories!
Bochum’s home defence will be severely tested in this clash by Julian Nagelsmann’s Bayern side who ran out 3-2 winners versus RB Leipzig last time out, as they made it five instances across their last six league outings where they’ve scored three or more times.
But FC Bayern has one big loss to moan about: Manuel Neuer will miss several weeks because of a knee surgery. His replacement in the Bayern net, Sven Ulreich, probably can’t go against Bochum too because of an illnees. If that’s the case 22 year old Christian Fruechtl would make his Bundesliga debut.

OUR BOCHUM VS. BAYERN MUNICH BETTING TIPS
With Zoller and many other key players missing in Bochum’s squad, it is hard to forecast anything other than another thrashing for Bayern Munich, whose current form may see them score at least three goals past Reis’ men this weekend. Our first of two betting tips for today is Bayern over 2.5 goals.
VfL Bochum are an interesting outfit that should not be taken tightly, as Mainz figured out earlier in the campaign. They’ve taken 72% of their overall points on home soil this campaign (W5, D3, L2) so they will fancy getting the back of the net at playing at home.
