Key Highlights

VfL Bochum Are Looking to Bounce Back to Winning Ways After Three-Match Winless Run

Bochum have drawn their last two matches in the Bundesliga against Augsburg at home (1-1) and Eintracht Frankfurt away (1-1). The two draws followed a 3-1 defeat at Dortmund, making it three consecutive winless matches.

They have won once and drawn three times in their last five outings, with a single defeat in this run.

They will look to end their three-match winless run when they host a Bayern Munich side leaking their wounds after consecutive defeats in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League.

Bayern Will Look to Get Their Bundesliga Campaign Back to Winning Ways After Defeat At Leverkusen Last Time Out

Two defeats in their last five outings in the Bundesliga have dented Thomas Tuchel’s charges and their fight to defend their title.

After they were beaten 3-0 at BayArena by their title challengers and this season’s pacesetters, Leverkusen, the Bavarians will be keen to return to winning ways when they entertain Bochum on Sunday.

Bayern’s week got even worse when they lost 1-0 away to Lazio in the first leg of their two-legged round-of-16 tie against the Serie A side.
