Borussia M'gladbach - Bochum predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Bochum are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Borussia M'gladbach should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It’s highly unlikely that Bochum will manage to get some points this round. Borussia M. are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Borussia M.’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing RB Leipzig as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 2:0 loss for Borussia M..

Bochum’s chances of winning the previous Bundesliga round were not great. The opposing team, Bayern München, were tagged as hard favourites before kick-off, but Bochum managed to snag an early lead and turn it into an astonishing 3:2 home win.

The last time these two teams met Borussia M. managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

A string of injuries put a large chunk of the visitors’ lineup out of contention. They’ll have to make do without Patrick Osterhage, Mohammed Tolba, Michael Esser, Tim Oermann, Niclas Thiede. Given that they were already underdogs anyhow, this puts them at a severely disadvantaged position.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
