Wolfsburg - Bochum predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.81, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Bochum seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.56, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Although Wolfsburg are coming on the back of a harsh 3:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against RB Leipzig , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Bochum had their work cut out for them as they entered the previous game. The 3.68 odds were somewhat favourable, but most of the advantage can be chalked up to the fact that they were playing at home. The two teams ended up in a deadlock for most of the runtime, and the match ended with a 1:1 draw.

Wolfsburg’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Bundesliga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Bochum once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Patrick Wimmer, Lukas Nmecha, Koen Casteels, Rogério will have to sit this one out, while Bochum will have to make do without Mohammed Tolba, Michael Esser, Moritz-Broni Kwarteng, Niclas Thiede.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.62, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
