Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full Time Result – Bochum to Win – 1.80

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Bochum to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 1.91

Bochum to Win

After a disappointing result last weekend, this is a big opportunity for the hosts to regain the winning thread, and at odds of 1.80, they’re worth backing to do just that. While Bochum have picked up a solid average of 1.75 points at home, the visitors have collected a paltry average of 0.08 points per game on their travels. Combine this with an average xG difference of -1.45, compared to the +0.09 Bochum average at home, and the home win becomes hard to oppose.

Bochum to Score Over 1.5 Goals

Bochum have scored two or more goals on six occasions at home this season, while the visitors have surrendered at least two goals in 100% of their away matches. Such a stat makes Over 1.5 Bochum goals appeal greatly at odds of 1.91.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Bochum vs Greuther Furth

They huffed and they puffed, but Bochum could not blow Leipzig’s house down last time out, despite being the dominant force in the match, and despite hitting the woodwork not once but twice. That’s how it often goes, though, miss your chances, and you’ll eventually be punished. Disappointing as that loss was, Saturday’s hosts are still in a position of promise, just outside of the top half, losing just one of their last five fixtures.

At this venue, the Bochum boys know how to get a result, going three home games unbeaten before that somewhat unfortunate defeat last weekend. They’ve also lost just two of their last ten when surrounded by the comforts of home, beating top-half teams such as Freiburg, Frankfurt and Bayern Munich.

Furth’s solid form at home continued last time out, as they held FC Koln to a respectable draw, stretching their unbeaten run at home to six matches, a string of results that seemed massively unlikely just a few months ago. Unfortunately, Saturday’s visitors remain cut adrift, such was the level of their form over the first 3-4 months of the campaign.

Away from home, Furth’s luck remains non-existent. They’ve picked up just one travelling point, losing 11 out of 12. Their lack of points is largely down to a lack of offensive power, as a total of just ten goals in 12 fixtures suggests. Then again, they’ve been woeful at the back as well, shipping 44 goals, conceding at a rate of 3.66 per 90 minutes.

Quick Rich

If you want to take a chance on something at a juicy price, then try ‘Bochum to Score Over 2.5 Goals’. It’s not that the hosts score three or more on a regular basis, but they have scored six in their last three at home, while this is an excellent chance for them to really find their shooting boots, especially as Furth ship an average of 3.66 goals on the road.
