On October 2, Leipzig will host Bochum in a Bundesliga match. Will hosts be able to redeem themselves after a defeat in the Champions League? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

RB Leipzig

Red Bulls are not looking the same as in the previous season. Team is losing way too many points, not only in the domestic league, but in the Champions League as well.
Leipzig lost two consecutive matches in the Champions League, in the first one they were beaten by Manchester City (3:6) and in the most recent match they went down to Brugge (1:2). Now team is at the bottom of Group A, there are not too many chances even to get into the Europa League play-offs.
Jesse Marsch's men are also unsuccessful in Bundesliga, after six rounds they are at 10th position. Overall, club needs to improve the situation as soon as possible.

Bochum

Bochum are at 17th spot in the standings, so it is not a surprise that club is in a poor form. Since the start of the season Thomas Reis' men earned only one victory, they managed to beat Mainz (2:0) at home.
Bochum suffered three consecutive defeats, but then managed to hold Stuttgart to draw (0:0) at home. Hosts looked good on the offense, but were unable to score.
Club just got promoted to Bundesliga, so players will need some time to get used to the level of opponents here.
