Bochum vs Bayern Munich Betting Tips: BTTS / Bochum or Draw

Bayern Munich is set to play in Bochum, aiming to prevent a third consecutive away loss this week. This follows their disappointing defeats at Leverkusen (3:0) and Lazio (1:0).

Bochum, the hosts, are in excellent shape and are set to pose yet another significant challenge for the struggling champions. Thomas Letsch’s team has remained undefeated in 12 of their past 13 games at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion, and have claimed victories in three of their previous four games.

Bochum has also witnessed BTTS in a significant percentage of their league matches this season. In their home games, both teams have scored in eight out of ten Bundesliga matches this season.

After a dispiriting 3:0 defeat at the BayArena last weekend, Bayern now trails league leaders Leverkusen by five points. Their subsequent 1:0 loss in Rome puts head coach Tuchel under significant strain, with the Munich giants at risk of finishing the season without a single trophy.

The Bavarians have suffered four losses in their last nine matches played away. In their four latest matches on the road, they have conceded 11 goals.

Despite Bayern’s impressive track record of thrice defeating Bochum 7:0 over the past three seasons, I suspect the hosts will give the champions a run for their money. Bayern did suffer a 4:2 loss at this location in February 2022. Given their recent performance, it wouldn’t be a huge shock if Tuchel’s team faltered again this Sunday.

BTTS looks a solid choice while I´ll also take a chance on Bochum in the double chance market.
