LiontipsBochum vs Holstein. Prediction and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Bochum lost in the first three rounds, and managed to score only in the third league match against Freiburg (1:2). Before that, Peter Seidler's men lost to Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach with a "dry" score of 0:1 and 0:2, respectively. Without a single point, the "unbending" occupy 16th place in the standings, ahead of St. Pauli and Holstein only on additional indicators. As in the previous season, Bochum players allow a lot to their opponents near their goal - the same Freiburg made 27 shots at goal, of which nine were on target.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ordets and Bernardo will not play today due to injuries, Riman is suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bochum have not kept a clean sheet in 19 Bundesliga matches
- Bochum have not scored more than one goal in their last five league matches
Approximate line-up : Drewes - Passlack, Medich, Masovic, Wittek - de Wit, Bero, Sissoko, Miyoshi - Hofmann, Boadu.
Current form
The Bundesliga newcomer, like its upcoming opponent, has not scored a single point in three rounds. In turn, they have lost 2-3 away to Hoffenheim, 0-2 at home to Wolfsburg and 1-6 to Bayern, also at home. It is obvious that Marcel Rapp's team is having a hard time adapting, there are too many mistakes in defense, and an attempt to play in their usual style with a lot of ball possession leads to failures and setbacks, which was noticeable in almost every one of the three matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only the injured Kleine-Beckel will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Holstein have conceded at least two goals in all four official matches this season
- In the last three matches the team conceded at least two goals in the first half
Tentative line-up : Weiner - Johansson, Herras, Geschwill - Becker, Holtby, Knudsen, Bernhardsson - Porath - Pichler, Machino.

7.50Tip and bets
Both teams have failed the opening period of the season, but the guests' defense is especially disastrous. Plus, Bochum has the support of fans and experience, the ability to achieve positive results in matches with opponents who do not have an advantage in class. We believe that the hosts will score three points today.
Our prediction is a Bochum victory with odds of 1.95
Bet on total
A bet on the total over suggests itself in this pair. Bochum is capable of taking advantage of the opponent's defensive lapses. And in general, there is nothing to lose today, we need to play boldly in attack to score our first points.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.63
Bet on the first half
Holstein have been playing poorly in the opening stages. The visitors have lost in the first half in all three Bundesliga games since the start of the season. It is unlikely that this streak will be broken today in Bochum.
