THE PREDICTION
Borusssia Dortmund’s 2-3 defeat at home to league leaders Bayern Munich last weekend was a big setback in regards to their title ambitions and anything less than three points away at Bochum would be another crushing blow. Whilst the hosts are in good form having won their last two league games, they conceded three goals across the two matches and the Bochum defensive is unlikely to be able to cope with the quality of players such as Marco Reus and Erling Haaland that Dortmund possess going forward, the two having racked up four goals between them in midweek as Marco Rose’s side thrashed Besiktas 5-0 in the Champions League. Ultimately class should tell at Vonovia Ruhrstadion and a fairly comprehensive away win for Borussia Dortmund is expected.
