Game Preview
RB Leipzig is expected to secure a decisive win as they host VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The guests have yet to register a win this season, having settled for three draws in their last 6 league matches plus having been eliminated from the DFB-Pokal. As for Leipzig, they have consistently demonstrated progress under the guidance of Marco Rose, who has achieved an impressive 70% victory rate throughout his tenure since assuming the position from Domenico Tedesco in September of 2022.
Die Roten Bullen has not been successful in their previous two matches. They managed to secure a 2-2 draw against the reigning Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich, and later suffered a late 3-1 defeat at their home ground against Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that Rose has been able to positively influence the squad in the early stages of the season.
Taking into account the fact that Bochum has emerged victorious at only 2 out of their previous 20 away matches in the Bundesliga since last season, it seems pretty unlikely for Thomas Letsch’s team to evade defeat against Leipzig on Saturday.
Following a resounding 7-0 defeat versus Bayern in their previous encounter, we believe boss Letsch will look to adjust his starting squad for this matchup. However Bochum will travel without Mateus Bero, Michael Esser, Lys Mousset, Mohammed Tolba and Moritz-Broni Kwarteng due to confirmed injuries.
As for Leipzig they have several players under injury risk such as Benjamin Henrichs, who was substituted during the match against Bayern on account of a muscular injury. Thus we might see either Mohamed Simakan or Lukas Klostermann continue playing at the right back position.
This is an easy match to read, with Leipzig having a massive advantage. So take note of this game for your soccer betting adventures.
