Bayern Munich vs Bochum Prediction

Bayern Munich Form

In their last three matches, Bayern Munich won 1-2 against B. M'gladbach, before settling for a point in a 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen. They were back on top last time out, defeating Manchester United 4-3. Bayern Munich claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored 15 and conceded seven goals.

Bayern Munich are understandable the favourites to win the Bundesliga this season and nothing but the title will be considered a failure for the ambitious club.

Bochum Form

In their previous three matches, Bochum drew 1-1 with B. Dortmund, 2-2 with Augsburg and 1-1 with Eintracht. Bochum didn't manage a single away win in their last six Bundesliga matches, but managed four draws, while suffering two defeats. They conceded 12 and scored five goals themselves.

Bayern Munich would probably consider anything lower than at least a second place finish a disappointment. The hosts have one eye on a title challenge and know a good start is imperative.

They usually throw caution to the wind, when clashing with each other, and with both Bayern Munich and Bochum scoring freely over the past weeks, we expect a highly entertaining match.
