Hertha BSC - Bochum betting tips and odds

Hertha BSC are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Bochum. The odds of 2.25 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Team from Berlin on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

The hosts will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways following their last round’s disappointment. They suffered a dreadful Köln away defeat without ever getting close to salvaging anything from the game. Having conceded early on in the game, things went from bad to worse for Hertha BSC.

Bochum went into their previous match against Augsburg with a slight edge in form and home-field advantage, resulting in a comfortable and somewhat predictable 3:2 home win.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Considering they conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 home games, there’s not a lot of confidence in Bochum and their defenses. Hopefully, they’ll somehow do better as visitors.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Bundesliga season. Bochum won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

The visitors’ status as underdogs is further made worse by the exceptionally high number of injuries going into this match. Paul Grave, Patrick Osterhage, Jordi Osei-Tutu, Mohammed Tolba, Moritz Broschinski will all be unable to play at Olympiastadion Berlin, so think twice before putting down any bets.

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.
