FC Bayern’s record in this fixture is exceptionally dominant, as the Bavarian giants have lost just once in 35 previous league meetings against Bochum. The previous meeting between the side this season was won 7-0 by Bayern, marking the second time in two seasons that they have won by that scoreline against their rivals this weekend.
Bochum’s best results at the Allianz Arena since it opened have come in the forms of draws, with their most recent point coming in 2008. The head-to-head record highlights why the hosts will be a short-priced favorite in the Bayern Munich vs Bochum betting.
Bayern Munich vs. Bochum Analysis
Bayern Back On Track
The Bundesliga betting has made for captivating viewing in recent weeks, as the chasing pack has been able to close to within a point of Bayern Munich at the top of the standings. However, the Bayern Munich odds to retain the title have shortened once again following an emphatic return to winning ways after drawing three straight matches last weekend.
The Bavarian giants scored three within the opening 20 minutes in their previous fixture against Wolfsburg, with Kingsley Coman netting a brace. Jamal Musiala rounded off the scoring in the comfortable game on the road in the final 20 minutes.
However, that win wasn’t without its issues, as Joshua Kimmich’s red card means that he will be unavailable for this showdown with Bochum. Meanwhile, the German giants will once again be without Sadio Mane, Manuel Neuer, and Lucas Hernandez this weekend. It will be interesting to see if further players are rested as Bayern travel to PSG on Tuesday in the Champions League.
Bochum Batting For Points
The traveling side will be the clear outsiders in the Bayern Munich vs Bochum betting this weekend. However, they have shown some solid form in recent weeks to move out of the bottom three positions, picking up three victories from their last five games. Regardless, they remain just three points above the relegation spots.
Bochum has conceded more goals than any other side in the Bundesliga this term, as they have allowed 46. That would be a clear concern for any bettor making Bochum picks this weekend against a potent Bayern forward line. The strugglers managed to get back into the win column last weekend, as they claimed a dominant 5-2 home win over Hoffenheim.
Takuma Asano, Philipp Hofmann, and Erhan Masovic all netted in that success. However, they are unlikely to have things all their own way as they did last weekend at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. Goalkeepers Michael Esser and Paul Grave remain out for the trip to Bavaria, while Cristian Gamboa is also unavailable until early march with a knee injury.

Bayern Munich vs. Bochum Betting Pick and Prediction
The injury issues that Bayern have to contend with, coupled with an upcoming Champions League showdown with PSG, make this an intriguing betting fixture in the Bundesliga on Saturday. A Bochum victory still remains a huge outside chance, as they have won just once in 35 previous visits to Munich. However, we don’t expect them to suffer a third 7-0 defeat against Bayern in four meetings.
I do feel as though Bochum (+3) is a solid enough bet for this fixture, as they have shown quality in the final third throughout the season, and they could get success against a leaky Bayern backline. However, Bayern and both Bundesliga teams to score could the best bet.
Pick 1: Bayer Munich & Both Teams To Score (+140)
Pick 2: Over 2.5 Goals (-350)
