Bochum - Wolfsburg predictions

Bochum will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Wolfsburg. The price of 3.11 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

Despite playing away, Wolfsburg are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.23, we’re in for a close game.

Bochum were up against a vastly superior opponent in the last round - Borussia Dortmund – which means the 4:2 result was rather predictable. Considering the home-field disadvantage and 12.01 betting odds that most bookies gave them, the lead Bochum had in the first half was quite surprising.

Wolfsburg’s previous round was a home match against Stuttgart which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.66 odds on a home win.

Bochum have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Bundesliga matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

With 8 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Wolfsburg's backline has much to be wished for

Wolfsburg didn’t fare too well the last time they clashed with Bochum, recording a harsh defeat with a difference of several goals last season. They’re fairly likely to leave a better impression this time around, though, if the betting odds are to be believed.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.85, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
