Wolfsburg vs Bochum prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-02-21 14:30.
[p]A run of one defeat in seven league matches (W3, D3) has kept Wolfsburg in touch with the European places, with the only team to beat them in that run being leaders Bayern Munich. Most of their success this season has come on the road, with just five teams picking up fewer home points (13) this term coming into the round, so Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men will be keen to improve on their own turf. [/p]
[p]The Wolves are unbeaten in their last three home matches (W1, D2), and they’ll surely fancy their chances of extending that run here against Bochum. That’s not least because of the visitors’ struggles, but Wolfsburg have also won five of their prior seven Bundesliga H2Hs (L2), including the last two meetings, giving them the chance to become the first side to win this fixture in the top-flight three times in succession. [/p]
[p]Bochum are facing a real battle to extend their three-year stay in the Bundesliga, but the indications are they won’t be going down without a fight. The Blues have shown signs of life by avoiding defeat in their last two matches (W1, D1), and they could now go three undefeated in the league for the first time this term. [/p]
[p]Dieter Hecking’s men secured a famous 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund last time out, but it’s on the road where his side must improve to stave off the drop. The point they secured on their last trip against Holstein Kiel (2-2) was just their second of the campaign in away matches, while it was also just the third time they’d managed to score more than one away goal in a single game.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mohammed Amoura, who set up two goals in the reverse fixture (W 3-1), has had a hand in 16 league goals this season (G9, A7) – more than any Wolfsburg player in their first 20 Bundesliga games in two decades. Georgios Masouras, who scored a double against Dortmund, recorded six shots on target in that game, the most by a Bochum player in the top-flight since Theofanis Gekas in 2006. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Wolfsburg have dropped the most points from winning positions in the Bundesliga this season (15), while Bochum surrendered the third-most (12).[/p]
