Bochum vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the German Bundesliga on Friday, 29 April 2022.
Bochum has returned back to winless ways after a set of unbeaten fixtures. Four winless games in a row affected their positioning in the standings. They are currently sitting at 15th, at the edge of the danger zone.
They will face Dortmund, who have just climbed past the German biggies Bayern Munich to take over the top position. The team made a three-match unbeaten streak to make such a thrust. Thus, Dortmund will be having some spirits to enter this fixture.
Dortmund can also rely on the recent tradition since they won the previous two encounters against Bochum. This includes a 3-0 win in the reverse fixture.
At this venue, Dortmund was unbeaten in 7 of the past 8 meetings against Bochum. Six of those 8 meetings here had goals over 2.5 ft too.
Although Dortmund took over the top spot from Bayern temporarily, their form doesn’t look that impressive especially on the road. However, the top spot might motivate them despite of a three-match winless run on the road.
On top of that, Bochum’s poor run of losing four home matches in the past five, boost the chances of Dortmund to seal a win here. The head to head upper hand is also an addition to back Borussia Dortmund to seal a victory on Friday.
More than 60% of the matches played by both saw the landing of over 2.5 goals ft. Especially Dortmund, who have played around 75% of their matches with high-scoring . Therefore, we expect this match to have over 2.5 goals ft.
The defensive side of Dortmund doesn’t seem capable of keeping a clean sheet here. On the other side, Frankfurt have succeeded in scoring even in the matches they lost at home of late. Therefore, we expect goals from both ends here.
Dortmund is having a comparatively better form in the league at present. In fact, the Yellows are having a clear advantage excluding the road trip-home comparisons.
We therefore like to place Dortmund to win & over 2.5 goals @ 1.85 odds as the main betting pick here. For the second bet, we like to place both teams to score @ 1.57 odds.
