Match Stats

Bochum narrowly stayed in the Bundesliga last spring, needing a penalty shootout victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf. However, if they continue their current form, it's doubtful they’ll remain in the league next season. Bochum sits at the bottom of the table with just one point from seven rounds—a single draw against Holstein Kiel in the 4th round. Recent losses to Hoffenheim (1-3), Wolfsburg (1-3), and Borussia Dortmund (2-4) have only worsened their position.


The team recently made the season's first managerial change in the Bundesliga, dismissing head coach Philipp Seidler. However, a replacement has yet to be appointed, and assistant coach Markus Feldhoff will lead the team against Bayern in the interim.


It’s an unfortunate time for Bochum to meet Bayern, as the Munich side will be looking to bounce back strongly after a 1-4 Champions League loss to Barcelona. Vincent Kompany is under pressure to inspire a response, and one is indeed expected.


Going into this round, Bayern is atop the Bundesliga standings, level on 17 points with RB Leipzig. There’s no room for complacency here. Bayern recently defeated Stuttgart 4-0 at home but previously dropped points in draws against Eintracht Frankfurt (3-3) and Bayer Leverkusen (1-1). In the Champions League, aside from the loss to Barcelona, they were narrowly defeated by Aston Villa (0-1) but crushed Dinamo Zagreb with a striking 9-2 scoreline.

Prediction: 0-3
