In the match of the eighth round of the Bundesliga, Leipzig will host Bochum on its field.
LeipzigMarco Rose's team played rather mediocre in the last match before the pause for the matches of the national teams.
In the last round, Leipzig suffered a crushing defeat on the road from Borussia Monchengladbach with a score of 0:3. At the same time, according to statistics, the bulls were not really bad, but from that moment on, Leipzig had more problems.
As a result, Leipzig, with eight points, still occupies an extremely modest 12th place in the standings.
"Bochum"But the team of Thomas Lech, who replaced Thomas Rice as the head coach of the team, was finally able to score its first point in the new Bundesliga season in the last round.
Bochum was able to draw with Cologne with a score of 1 on its own field:1. At the same time, Bochum led the score for a long time, already in the ninth minute Benno Schmitz cut the ball into his own goal and made the home team happy. As a result, Bochum continued to play more defensively, but still in the 88th minute of the meeting, Cologne was able to recoup. This match turned out to be amazing in terms of statistics. Bochum did not hit a single shot on goal during the whole game.
Bochum and Leipzig last played against each other on February 27 as part of the 24th round of the German Championship. Then Leipzig was able to win a minimal victory with a score of 1-0 on the road.
ForecastIn this match, Leipzig, of course, is considered by the bookmakers to be almost the undisputed favorite.
The Bulls need to improve their position in the standings, and yet, with their fans, it will not be superfluous to win a major victory over an outsider and prove that the team has "rebooted". We suggest that you bet more than 2.5 goals on Leipzig's individual total.
