Bayern Munich will be looking to extend their advantage in the Bundesliga standings this weekend after a rocky period at the top of the standings. However, Bochum will likely come into this fixture in good mood after winning three of their last five fixtures.
Bundesliga Preview
There is no denying that Bayern Munich find themselves in a title battle this term, as just four points separate the top four in the standings. Bayern Munich continue to lead the way, but they are just a point clear of Union Berlin coming into this round of fixtures. The Bavarian giants finally returned to winning ways last weekend, which ended a run of three successive draws.
That win was picked up in comprehensive fashion on the road, as Bayern scored three goals in the opening 20 minutes against Wolfsburg. Kingsley Coman was in excellent form with two goals, while other efforts were netted by Thomas Muller and Jamal Musiala. However, it will be interesting to see whether changes are made for this fixture as a huge Champions League showdown against PSG takes place next week.
Bochum’s place in the Bundesliga remains under threat as we head into the second half of the season. However, they will come into this game confident after picking up three victories from their previous five matches in the league. That run has seen them move up to 15th in the standings, and a famous win over Bayern could see them move up to as high as 13th this weekend.
Bochum ended a two-game losing streak in their previous fixture, as they landed a 5-2 home win over Hoffenheim. It was a productive day for their attacking players in that fixture, with five different players finding the net. Among those with Phillip Hofmann, Philip Forster, and Takuma Asana, who all netted in the opening 45 minutes.
Bayern Munich vs Bochum Head to Head
Bochum has picked up just one victory from their previous ten matches against Bayern Munich. However, that win was picked up last season, as they landed a famous 4-2 success. However, they were easily swatted aside by the German champions earlier this season, losing 7-0.
Bayern Munich vs Bochum Prediction
Bayern will already have one eye on their Champions League showdown with PSG coming into this weekend. However, we don’t expect the Bavarian giants to have much trouble against Bochum, and we could see them claiming a 3-0 win at the Allianz Arena.
