Borussia Dortmund vs Bochum Predictions

• Borussia Dortmund have won their two Bundesliga games this year by an aggregate score of 7-0
• Bochum have won only four games in the Bundesliga this season
• Dortmund are averaging 2.06 goals per game in the German top flight this term

Dortmund in pursuit of top four in Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund finished 2023 knowing they had work to do in the Bundesliga with Edin Terzic’s men having looked as though they could miss out on the top four.

But since the turn of the year, the Black and Yellows have started to put things right, recording 3-0 and 4-0 wins over Darmstadt and Cologne in their last two games.

They look like they mean business and they have a host of goalscoring options from Donyell Malen to Julian Brandt to Youssoufa Moukoko, while Jadon Sancho’s arrival should only help matters.

Bochum unlikely to put up much of a fight

Dortmund’s recent resurgence has put them level on points with fourth-placed Leipzig and only a point adrift of Stuttgart, who are starting to stutter.

Those two sides face off this weekend, meaning it is a golden opportunity for Dortmund to return to the top four and they should not pass up the chance.

Opponents Bochum can be awkward customers – they edged Stuttgart 1-0 last time out – but they have won only four league games this term and have leaked 34 goals, so back a Dortmund win and over 3.5 goals.

As for a correct score pick, Dortmund could be breached and 3-1 to the visitors looks wise.
