RB Leipzig - Bochum betting tips and odds

RB Leipzig are seen as favourites to win this match against Bochum. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Bochum are given 13.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

RB Leipzig and their latest performance against Borussia M'gladbach in the Bundesliga could not have been good for their confidence. They may have been at home a field disadvantage, but no one expected them to lose 3:0 – not even after the lacklustre first half.

The away team staved off defeat in the previous round despite the largely unfavourable betting odds they had going in. Records show that they were leading at the end of the first half, which was already quite an upset. The final outcome was a 1:1 draw on home ground.

Team from Leipzig’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 7 goals throughout their latest three Bundesliga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Bochum’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

The hosts are in a solid position as number 12th in the standings, but more is expected of them. Another 3 points here will do great in getting them closer to the top, which seems like a likely outcome.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.25. They soundly defeated Bochum last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Mohamed Simakan, Lukas Klostermann, Marcel Halstenberg, Konrad Laimer for the hosts, and Paul Grave, Takuma Asano, Jacek Góralski, Konstantinos Stafylidis, Dominique Heintz, Lys Mousset 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.
