Bochum - Bayern München predictions

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

A victory for Bayern München seems so predictable here that making such a bet is not likely to net you any sort of profit. Priced at 1.15 with top bookies online, it’s the obvious outcome, and it would be a small miracle to see anything else.

Bochum’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Hoffenheim as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:1 loss for Bochum.

The Bavarians supporters did not expect their team to struggle during the first half of their previous Bundesliga match. However, Stuttgart managed to put in a fight and defy the odds for 45 minutes before succumbing to a convincing 4:0 beating.

The first step Bochum need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. The Bavarians have netted 8 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

The price of 1.15 for an away win is at least in part based on how the two squads performed the last time they played against each other. Bayern Munich ended that match with a notable goal difference, though this record is from the previous season of the Bundesliga.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Aleksandar Pavlović, Josip Stanisic, Hiroki Ito due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Matúš Bero, Felix Passlack, Bernardo have also reported injuries.

An Over 3.5 Goals is the best option for this fixture, though it’s not perfect by any means. That said, the notable risk of failure is worth it due to the considerable betting value that can be found in the 1 odds.
