THE PREDICTION
Bochum remain the only club without a single point yet after five Bundesliga fixtures, so this is a golden opportunity for Schalke 04 to finally get their first league win of the campaign. The hosts are averaging just one goal a game and that lack of potency has been the key to their struggles, but in Bochum are facing a defence which has shipped a whopping 15 goals so far, an average of three per match. Also factor in the lack of belief and confidence among the Bochum side and home advantage being in Schalke’s favour and you’d expect Frank Kramer’s side to do enough to pick up their first Bundesliga victory of 2022-23.
