Bayern Munich vs Bochum prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-03-07 14:30.
[p]Bayern Munich’s win at Stuttgart last weekend was sweet not only because it maintained their eight-point lead at the Bundesliga summit, but because they were able to overcome just the fourth instance this season in which they went 1-0 down in the league (D2, L1). Head coach Vincent Kompany claimed that was his favourite aspect of the victory and, despite the jubilation of the comeback, he has promised the squad will remain calm ahead of their second of five competitive matches in a 16-day period. [/p]
[p]Their thumping 3-0 midweek win at home to Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) extended their unbeaten run at Allianz Arena to ten games across all competitions (W9, D1). In the Bundesliga only, they’re one step away from equalling the league’s longest winning home streak of 11, having shown off their attacking prowess by scoring 3+ goals in all ten games. [/p]
[p]Bochum haven’t had to deal with the physical challenge of secondary competitions since an August exit from the DFB-Pokal, but that has been of little assistance underlined by the relegation contenders winning just two (D3, L4) of their nine Bundesliga matches since the turn of the calendar. Despite that, manager Dieter Hecking told the media after a 1-0 loss to Hoffenheim that he would have taken 16th place after 24 rounds “straight away”.[/p]
[p]Lower-ranked clubs have struggled against Bayern throughout the season and Bochum were no exception, losing the reverse H2H 5-0. Their recent trips to Bayern suggest that this day won’t be much better as since returning to the top flight, Bochum conceded 17 unanswered goals across three away H2H defeats, which makes ominous reading considering they’re still without a competitive win or a clean sheet on the road this season (D3, L10).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Following his midweek UCL double, Harry Kane now faces a side he has scored against in all three of his H2Hs (G5, A2). Philipp Hofmann (G2) could make his senior team debut against Bayern, 13 seasons after scoring against their under-19s side! [/p]
[p]Hot stat: 13 of Bayern’s 19 wins this Bundesliga season came by a 2+ goal margin.[/p]
