Bochum snappy against Bavaria: Can the underdog surprise?

Bochum snappy against Bavaria: Can the underdog surprise?

Vonovia-Ruhrstadion, Bochum, Deutschland - On October 27, 2024, the Bundesliga duel between VfL Bochum and Bayern Munich is on the program. Bochum, bottom of the table with a point from seven games, urgently has to win the first win of the season after having recently lost 1: 3 against Hoffenheim. To reduce the pressure, both head coach Peter Zeidler and sports director Marc Lettau were released. Interim coaches Markus Feldhoff and Murat Ural are now taking responsibility, while the team desperately tries to free themselves from the relegation zone.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, comes into the game with a mixed form. Despite a 1: 4 defeat in the Champions League against Barcelona, Bavaria stayed strong in the Bundesliga and leads with five wins and two draws. The Munichers want to build on the successful performance in the last Bundesliga game against Stuttgart, where they won 4-0. In a direct comparison, however, the Bochumers have reason to hope: In February 2024, they surprisingly won 3-2 against Bavaria, which gives this game additional charm. Bayern see Bavaria clearly in the favorite role with a probability of winning 88%().
