Borussia Dortmund - Bochum predictions

Bochum will have little to hope for against Borussia Dortmund. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is straightforward. Given the strength of Borussia Dortmund and the fact that Bochum are given 7.70 odds to win, it is easy to see that an Bochum victory would be a shocking surprise.

Top online bookies priced Borussia D. winning their previous Bundesliga match at 4.50 despite the home-field disadvantage, and they delivered on such expectations. They took an early lead and only increased it as the game progressed, finally recording a 0:4 away win.

In the previous round of the Bundesliga, we saw Bochum overcome heavily unfavourable odds and win against Stuttgart. They had the support of their home fans, sure, but most Bundesliga betting predictions expected a quick defeat, even after neither side managed to gain a decisive advantage for more than 45 minutes

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for Borussia Dortmund, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

Our confidence that Bochum will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

In addition to being this matchup’s favourites, the home team are number 5th in the standings. This means they’re on their way to the Champions League if they keep the pace up. That said, there’s plenty of time left for them to fumble it – or to move up to first.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Borussia Dortmund played against Bochum on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Julian Ryerson, Julien Duranville, Karim Adeyemi, Mats Hummels, Emre Can, Felix Nmecha for the hosts, and Mohammed Tolba, Michael Esser, Keven Schlotterbeck for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
