In the spring, Bochum managed to stay in the Bundesliga only by winning a penalty shootout against Fortuna Düsseldorf. However, if the team continues to play the same way, we likely won’t see the Blue and Whites in the top division next season.
After seven rounds, Bochum sits in last place in the Bundesliga, with only one point—a draw against Holstein Kiel in Round 4. In the previous round, Bochum lost to Hoffenheim (1-3), and before that, they were defeated by Wolfsburg (1-3) and Borussia Dortmund (2-4).
Bochum was the first team of the Bundesliga season to dismiss its head coach. However, the club has yet to find a replacement for Philipp Seidler, so interim coach Markus Feldhoff will lead the team against Bayern.
Bochum faces an unlucky situation, meeting a highly motivated Bayern following their Champions League setback, where they lost 1-4 to Barcelona. Vincent Kompany’s squad is expected to respond strongly, and there’s no doubt that they will.
By Round 8, Bayern leads the Bundesliga standings, though RB Leipzig has matched their point total—17 points each. Munich can’t afford to relax. In their previous league match, Bayern crushed Stuttgart 4-0 at home, but they recently dropped points in draws against Eintracht (3-3) and Bayer Leverkusen (1-1).
In the Champions League, besides the loss to Barcelona, Bayern also lost 0-1 to Aston Villa but achieved an astonishing 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb.
