Wolfsburg vs Bochum Prediction and Betting Tips | April 20th 2024
The action continues in round 30 of the German Bundesliga as Wolfsburg and Bochum lock horns at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday.
Currently separated by just one point at the wrong end of the table, we anticipate a thrilling contest between the two sides in a heated race for survival.
Wolfsburg were left empty handed yet again as they suffered a 3-0 hammering at the hands of RB Leipzig last Saturday.
Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men have now lost all but one of their last six matches, with a 2-0 victory over Werder Bremen on March 30 being the exception.
While Wolfsburg will be looking to find their feet this weekend, they have struggled to get going on home turf, where they are currently on an eight-match winless run.
Bochum, on the other hand, fought back from behind to salvage a late 1-1 draw with Heidenheim at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion last weekend.
However, Heiko Butscher’s men have now failed to taste victory in seven consecutive matches, losing five and claiming two draws since a stunning 3-2 victory over Bayern Munich on February 18.
With 27 points from 29 matches, Bochum are currently 15th in the Bundesliga table, one point and one place behind Saturday’s hosts.
