Bochum currently sit at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings with the lowest expected points tally. They are already six points behind 15th place, making their prospects of recovery slim.
The team has the second-worst goals conceded rate and the third-worst goals scored rate. In other words, Bochum is clearly one of the league’s weakest sides, with little prospect of escaping the relegation zone. Following another defeat in the seventh round against Hoffenheim, the club management decided to sack Peter Zeidler.
It remains unclear who will replace him, but among the potential candidates are assistant coach Markus Feldhoff, U17 coach David Siebers, and U23 coach Heiko Butscher, who could serve as caretaker coach. Andre Breitenreiter is also being considered for the permanent role.
Regardless of who takes over, Bochum are unlikely to pose any challenges for Bayern, even on their home ground.
Bet hereBayern München started the season strong, achieving several impressive victories and positioning themselves as favorites in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League.
They recorded overwhelming wins, with a combined score of 14-2 against Werder Bremen and Dinamo Zagreb. However, after these victories, Vincent Kompany’s team drew with Bayer Leverkusen (1-1) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-3) and suffered losses to Aston Villa (0-1) and Barcelona (1-4).
In their last five matches, Bayern managed to win only once, though they recently bounced back with a commanding 4-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.
Looking ahead, the team will face less challenging opponents, including Bochum, where they are expected to easily secure maximum points.
This season, Bayern München have struggled primarily against top opponents that defend effectively and can counter the team’s pressing strategy. In contrast, they have performed exceptionally well against clubs with less experienced squads and poorer organization.
Additionally, following their loss to Barcelona, Die Roten will likely be highly motivated to secure a convincing victory and quickly move past that defeat.
Bayern München enters this match as the clear favorite due to the significant disparity in player quality. Additionally, Bochum is facing major issues with team organization, particularly in their defensive phase.
Even though Bayern’s squad may experience some fatigue following their trip to Barcelona, they still have more than enough depth and quality to overpower Bochum.
In my opinion, it’s reasonable to predict that Bayern München will win this match with more than three goals scored.
Harry Kane is in excellent physical condition, currently ranking second on the topscorers list. Facing Bochum’s vulnerable defense, the English forward has a prime opportunity to score at least one goal in this match.
