BVB look to bounce back from Stuttgart embarassment

Borussia Dortmund will look to bounce back from an embarrassing loss against Stuttgart by claiming all three points at home versus Bochum on Friday.

We are only four games into the new Bundesliga campaign, but the pressure is already on head coach Nuri Sahin, especially with rumours of dressing room discontent doing the rounds.

Match Preview

Dortmund Recent Form

Prior to that Stuttgart loss, BVB actually enjoyed a good start to the campaign and went unbeaten in four matches.

They beat Eintracht Frankfurt and Heidenheim and drew with Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga and also emphatically won 3-0 away at Club Brugge in the Champions League.

The 5-1 loss versus Stuttgart almost came out of nowhere, but it was a worrying performance.

Dortmund Injury News

Felix Nmecha was withdrawn after just 30 minutes last time out and although his injury is not believed to be serious, he’ll likely miss this one alongside Giovanni Reyna.

It is likely Sahin will make changes to his starting XI due to that Stuttgart performance.

Last Dortmund Lineup

Here’s how Dortmund lined up against Stuttgart.

Bochum Recent Form

Hapless Bochum are without a win in four Bundesliga games as they’ve lost against RB Leipzig, Gladbach and Freiburg and drew 2-2 with Kiel last time out.

They suffered the ignominy of being eliminated from the German Cup by lowly Regensburg.

Bochum Injury News

Left-back Bernardo and centre-back Ivan Ordets have missed the last few games and probably won’t make this one.

Last Bochum Lineup

Here’s how Bochum lined up against Kiel.

Dortmund – Player To Watch

New signing Serhou Guirassy has finally got his season going after injury to score two goals in his last two games against Club Brugge in the Champions League and Stuttgart in the Bundesliga.

Bochum – Player To Watch

Myron Boadu has two goal contributions in two Bundesliga starts so far this campaign.

Dortmund vs Bochum – Prediction

Dortmund will be fired up to prove themselves after the poor result last weekend and Bochum are the unfortunate…
