Bayern Munich vs Bochum Prediction

Bayern Munich dropped their first points of the season last Friday when they allowed a stoppage-time equalizer to share spoils with Bayer Leverkusen in an eventful 2-2 stalemate at Allianz Arena.

Bayern and Bayer sit together at the top of the standings with ten out of twelve points from the opening four rounds of the 2023/24 campaign.

The Bavarians will play their third consecutive home outing in eight days on Saturday afternoon when they host Bochum in the fifth round of the Bundesliga.

They had a tough UEFA Champions League test against Manchester United on Wednesday night and it will be very interesting to see whether head coach Thomas Tuchel will make some rotations in the starting XI.

That said, whoever gets the nod on Saturday will represent a big threat to Bochum who are yet to claim their inaugural win of the season.

The visitors drew three and lost one of the opening four matches, scoring no more than a single goal in the process.

They’ve shown decent attacking display last weekend against Eintracht Frankfurt but it counted for little as Thomas Letsch’s troops eventually only had to settle for a draw.

Latest Meetings

Bayern Munich have been the dominant force in the history of this matchup with 26 wins, 8 draws, and only 1 defeat in the last 35 home encounters with Bochum.

The Bavarians stormed past Bochum both home and away in the previous term of Bundesliga, winning two matches with the goal difference of 10-0.

Two of the last four clashes between these rivals ended in Bayern’s 7-0 wins.

The Verdict

The gulf in quality between these rivals is massive and we can hardly back anything other than a commanding victory for the hosts.

The main pick is Bayern Munich to win to nil at the 1.90 odds while we also like the hosts to win both halves at the 1.80 odds.
