Bochum vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Betting Tips (15.02.2025)

Command Analysis

Bochum

Germany

Current form

Bochum is not losing hope of saving the season, having lost only two of the last five matches. However, the five points scored in this segment did not allow us to leave the last place in the table yet. The Diehards have 11 points, and the gap from the play-off zone is three points. In the previous round, Dieter Hecking's team played an important away match against their neighbor in the standings and a competitor in the fight for survival, Holstein. The meeting turned out to be hard-fought, the rivals scored once, and the result was a 2-2 draw. Note that the double was scored by Boado, who, however, will not play today due to injury. This is a very significant loss for the owners.

Disqualifications and injuries

Passlak and Boado will not play due to injuries. Wittek has too many cards. The entry of Kraus and Masuras into the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

In three of the last five matches, Bochum has lost in the first half.
In five of Bochum's seven previous Bundesliga matches, at least one of the teams did not score goals.

Approximate composition: Dreves – Medich, Ordets, Bernardo –Ehrman, Bero, Sissoko, Losilla, Holtmann–Brochinsky, Hoffman.

Borussia Dortmund

Germany

Current form

Nuri Shahin's resignation has had a positive effect so far. Without him, Borussia suffered only one defeat, when they lost 1-2 to Stuttgart in the Bundesliga in the previous round. At the same time, the team led by Niko Kovacs delighted the fans in the Champions League this week. Away in the first game of the 1/16 finals, Sporting managed to win 3-0 with a confident score. Now it is important to play at the same level in the championship, where Borussia has only one victory in the last five rounds and an intermediate 11th place in the table.

Disqualifications and injuries

He won't play today due to Nmech's injury. Ruerson will miss the meeting due to disqualification. Bansebaini's entry into the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

In none of the last five matches has Borussia lost in the first half.
In six of Borussia's seven previous Bundesliga matches, at least three goals were scored.

Approximate composition: Male – Coutu, Jan, Anton, Svensson – Zabitzer, Gross – Adeyemi, Brandt, Gittens – Girassi.

Tip and bets

1.7Borussia victory

Bochum is the outsider of the Bundesliga and the main contender for relegation. The hosts will play today without their top scorer Boada. Borussia changed their coach, won a great Champions League victory last week, and Girassi and Brandt are doing great in attack. We do not think that the guests, who have a significant advantage in class, will have difficulty scoring points today. Moreover, the motivation is huge, given the unenviable tournament position.

Our forecast is that Borussia will win by a factor of 1.70

1.92total more than three goals

Bet on the total

In the last two head-to-head matches, Borussia won, while the matches turned out to be productive, at least four goals were scored. Taking into account the powerful attacking potential of the guests, we are waiting for a large number of goals scored today.

The second bet is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.92

A bet on yellow cards

Let's pay attention to the promising trend for yellow cards. Borussia Dortmund players have received at least two warnings in 12 of the 13 previous away matches in the Bundesliga. Based on these figures, we recommend another option for betting.

Bet: the total number of Borussia yellow cards is more than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.84
