Borussia Dortmund vs Bochum prediction

Borussia Dortmund’s unbeaten run stretching back to pre-season (won 5, drew 2) ended unceremoniously when they were thumped 5-1 by Stuttgart last weekend. It was a shocking jolt to Nuri Sahin’s side that was showing lots of promise in this new season. Now they have to dust themselves up and try to bounce back against a struggling Bochum side, already in the relegation zone with 1 point from their opening 4 Bundesliga games.

Bochum were close to getting their first win of the season but a last-minute equalizer from Holstein Kiel meant that the spoils were shared 2-2. This was the first point Bochum had earned this season after losing their opening 3 Bundesliga games. The side has not beaten Dortmund in their last 5 head-to-head encounters (drew 2, lost 3), hence there is little hope that they could eventually get their first win of the season here.

Looking at recent results, both teams have been involved in high-scoring games of late. In fact for each team, all their last 3 games respectively scored 3 or more total goals. We expect the same to happen when the teams face each other, so our Borussia Dortmund vs Bochum prediction is Over 2.5 Goals.
