Bochum vs Wolfsburg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 5th 2024

Bochum and Wolfsburg go head-to-head at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion in round seven of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Peter Zeidler’s men head into the weekend as one of just two sides yet to taste victory in the league and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Bochum’s poor early-season form continued last weekend when they suffered a 4-2 defeat against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park. Zeidler’s side have failed to win their opening five league matches, losing four and claiming one draw while conceding 11 goals and scoring five.

While Bochum will be looking to find their feet on Saturday, they have struggled for results on home turf, where they are on a run of just one win in their last nine Bundesliga games since the start of March.

Wolfsburg, on the other hand, were left disappointed last weekend as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Stuttgart after conceding a 97th-minute equalizer.

Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men have failed to win their last three Bundesliga matches, losing twice and claiming one draw since a 2-0 victory over Holstein Kiel on August 31.

With four points from their opening five matches, Wolfsburg are currently 13th in the Bundesliga table, three points and four places above Saturday’s hosts.

Bochum vs Wolfsburg Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

Wolfsburg hold a slight upper hand in the history of this fixture, having won 11 of the last 23 meetings between the two teams.
Bochum have picked up two fewer wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on three occasions.
Wolfsburg have won just one of their last seven Bundesliga games while losing five and picking up one draw since May 12.

Bochum vs Wolfsburg Prediction

Both Bochum and Wolfsburg have stumbled into the new Bundesliga campaign and will be looking to secure a morale-boosting result.

However, Hasenhüttl’s men boast a slightly superior squad and we are backing them to come away with all three points at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion, albeit by the odd goal.

Prediction: Bochum 1-2 Wolfsburg
