VfL Bochum vs Borussia Dortmund 28.04.2023 Prediction: Bundesliga

Match Overview

Borussia Dortmund could only win by a narrow 2-1 margin against Bochum when the two teams met earlier in the season, and that will give them enough confidence and motivation to work hard for this one. Julian Brandt, in particular, who has 8 goals and 5 assists to his name in this competition this season, will be keen on continuing in his rich vein of form. Bochum will have a hard time keeping the Dortmund attack in check. 

Key Highlights

What is interesting to note is that out of the 8 games played between these two teams in the past, Bochum have won four while Dortmund have been victorious on three occasions. Only one recorded encounter was played out as a draw. The last time that Bochum won against Dortmund was only a year ago. This time around, with their home supporters cheering them on, they would like to get a win over the current leaders of the Bundesliga, separated though they are by 33 points.

Injury Report

The home team will miss out on the services of Marko Johansson, Philip Forster and Keven Schlotterbeck due to injuries. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, will have to make do without the likes of Thomas Meunier, Nico Schlotterbeck, Mateu Morey and Julien Duranville.   

Prediction

Bochum, who have conceded the most number of penalties this season, will have to be careful when they welcome Borussia Dortmund on Friday. The latter side are ranked third in the entire competition when it comes to playing away from home. We expect Dortmund to win this game quite comfortably. Bochum's defence is going to come under real threat on Friday.
