Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bochum Predictions

• Borussia Monchengladbach beat Bayern Munich 5-0 in the DFB-Pokal in midweek.
• Gladbach are unbeaten at home this season with three wins and two draws.
• Bochum have lost four of their five away games, and two of those defeats have been by three or more goals.

Gladbach a fearsome prospect at Borussia-Park

Borussia Monchengladbach entertain Bochum in the Bundesliga on Sunday and they should go into this game in confident mood after thrashing Bayern Munich 5-0 in the DfB Pokal in midweek.

That scoreline perhaps flattered Gladbach but they were worthy winners regardless, and they can follow up that success with a three-point haul in the league this weekend.

Bochum arrive in good form themselves after back-to-back Bundesliga wins. The visitors also enjoyed a cup win in midweek as they overcame Augsburg on penalties but their away form remains a concern.

Die Unabsteigbaren did win their last trip at fellow promoted side Furth but prior to that lost four league games in a row, conceding 13 goals and scoring just once in the process.

Gladbach should be a step up in quality too far and they can win fairly comfortably on Sunday. Die Fohlen are unbeaten at their Borussia-Park home this season and have beaten Borussia Dortmund and drawn with Bayern in the league, so a home win with a -1 handicap looks a strong option here as both of those teams are far stronger than Gladbach’s opponents on Sunday.

As Bochum have failed to score in three of their five away games so far they may struggle to break down Gladbach, who have conceded just once in their last three at home, and a 3-0 win for the hosts is the correct score selection.
