Bochum will face Borussia Dortmund in week 30 of the 2022/2023 German League which can be watched via live streaming on ESPN on Friday, April 28, 2023, ET.
Bochum will host Borussia Dortmund at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Friday in the Bundesliga match. The hosts are on the verge of the relegation zone, while the guests are at the top of the standings with a narrow one point difference from Bayern München.
Bochum are in a tough situation having not won in their last four Bundesliga matches and are just two points clear of the relegation zone after a heavy 5-1 home defeat to Wolfsburg, their fourth defeat by a minimum four-goal margin this season.
Vfl Bochum has only collected 27 points this season, nine fewer than last season at the same stage, but the fact that only three teams in the last seven seasons have been relegated on the same or more points should be hope for Bochum.
After picking up three successive home wins to close the first half of the season and two to open the second half, Bochum’s form at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion has been dipping at a very bad time. Losing to Wolfsburg last weekend saw them lose four of their last five Bundesliga home games plus a DFB-Pokal loss to Borussia Dortmund last February, meaning their last competitive home win against Dortmund was back in 2007.
Dortmund are suddenly top of the Bundesliga after a 4-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt extended their impressive league run this year. The last time they were top after 29 games was in the 2011/12 season, the season they won the title, and the last leader at this point to not win a trophy was Schalke in 2006/2007, so history is very much in their favor!
However, Dortmund will likely have to improve their away form if they are to avoid becoming the unwanted record holder, as a run of five away games without a win in all competitions certainly doesn’t make for a good display. One glance at those results and it’s clear where Dortmund’s problems lie, namely in defence, with each of those five winless games seeing them concede at least twice.
Philipp Hofmann will be one of the key players for Bochum this season. The forward is the team’s top scorer with eight goals, four of which were the opener. Hofmann will try to surprise Dortmund with a quick goal.
Without Erling Haaland who has moved to Manchester City, Julian Brandt, Donyell Malen and Youssoufa Moukoko are Borussia Dortmund’s main threats this season. Each scored eight, seven, and seven goals. Moukoko starred for Dortmund with two goals in beating Bochum 3-0 in the previous meeting.
Prediction while Borussia Dortmund won 3-1 over Bochum. However the hosts will be fighting it out to avoid another defeat at home and stay away from the relegation zone. However, Dortmund are highly motivated to maintain their place at the top of the table and have an advantage in quality and experience over Bochum.
