Dortmund vs Bochum Prediction and Match Preview
Bundesliga, Saturday, 28th January 2023
Match Preview
Borussia Dortmund will be looking to bounce back from their disappointing Champions League exit when they host Bochum in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Dortmund were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Tuesday, and will now need to overturn that deficit in the second leg at Stamford Bridge next month.
The defeat to Chelsea was Dortmund's third in a row in all competitions, and they will be keen to get back to winning ways against Bochum.
Bochum, meanwhile, are coming into the game on the back of a 2-0 win over Augsburg last weekend.
