1.70Tip and bets
Bochum will likely face another tough fight for survival this season, so it is unlikely that the visitors are very interested in advancing in the German Cup. Fighting on two fronts will be difficult for the Bundesliga outsider, so it is unlikely that the coaching staff will field their best lineup in the upcoming match. We believe that Regensburg has an excellent chance of advancing further.
Our prediction is Regensburg will not lose at 1.95

The hosts will probably try to play carefully in defense, because in terms of class the club from the Second Bundesliga is still inferior to Bochum. If Regensburg manages to calm the game, there will not be many scoring chances.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals for 2.12
Bet on corners
In this match we expect mostly positional fighting, so it is unlikely that the opponents will earn many corner kicks.
