Dortmund aims to boost title hopes against Bochum as they remains in competition for the Bundesliga title against Bayern Munich who are having issues at the moment.
Two teams with different mission.
Borussia Dortmund will travel to the Vonovia Ruhrstadion stadium tonight in an effort to cement their hold on first place in the Bundesliga while VfL Bochum looks to move further away from the danger zone.
Erhan Masovic scored in the second half of Bochum’s most recent victory, a narrow 1-0 win over RB Leipzig at home even though Leipzig dominated that match.
Dortmund will exploit Bochum’s porous defence.
With 66 goals allowed, Bochum’s defense is the weakest in the entire league, and they are precariously placed just two points above the relegation zone.
The league’s top team, Dortmund on the other hand, haven’t participated in a 0-0 tie in 118 games, dating back to October 2019. They are attempting to prevent Bayern from winning the Bundesliga 11 times in a row by beating Bochum in their home.
Head-to-head comparison: Dortmund have defeated Bochum in 4 of their last 6 encounters.
Conclusion: With six victories at home, struggling Bochum has shown some promise, but back Borussia Dortmund to win the Ruhr derby and maintain their lead in the standings.
Prediction: Borrussia Dortmund to win@1.55.
