VfL Bochum vs Bayern Munich Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Die Bayern currently lead the Bundesliga table

VfL Bochum will welcome league leaders Bayern Munich to their backyard. The Blues have had a forgetful season so far and find themselves at the bottom of the table. They are in pole position to get relegated having lost six out of their seven league games. Bochum are yet to win a league game this season and have managed to get just one point so far.

Bayern Munich on the other hand will look to revive from their Champions League humiliation by FC Barcelona. The Bavarians have struggled to find consistency under new head coach Vincent Kompany, but have continued to stay at the top of the Bundesliga table with 17 points in hand. They will look to bounce back to winning ways come Sunday.

Players to watch 

Myron Boadu (VfL Bochum)

Myron Boadu has made a name for himself in the Bundesliga with his blistering pace, tactical awareness and finishing abilities. The Dutch striker has turned out to be a great addition to the Blues’ squad and already has the most number of goal contributions for his side with two goals and an assist in six games. Bochum will rely upon his to produce the goods against Bayern Munich 

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

The English striker has continued to find the back of the net consistently for Bayern Munich. He has scored 14 goals across all competitions and is one of the top contenders for the European Golden Boot this season. Kane has scored four goals in the last two games for Bayern, including a hattrick against Stuttgart. Expect him to continue his goalscoring form.
