Bochum hosts Bayern Munich in German DFB Pokal 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 29th at Vonovia Ruhrstadion (Bochum)
Bochum is a representative of Bundesliga 2. But its affairs are very deplorable even there. The team gained only one victory in 11 rounds. And having 9 points, it leads a trio of outsiders. At the same time, the "Unyielding Ones" justify their nickname by actions in the attack. And they have 20 goals scored. Only two tournament leaders have more. And Bochum scored 3 goals one of them, Arminia, when it took it on visitors. In general, the team scored in all the championship games except one, visiting leading Hamburg. All 5 home games were tied, and at least 2 goals were scored in each of them.

Bayern is 2nd in the championship so far. It goes through the tournament with confidence. There is only one point behind the leader. Only one match out of nine was lost, and the Reds gained five victories. Everything seems to be in order. But the defense cannot boast of such reliability that was 2-3 seasons ago. For example, 3 years ago, Bayern conceded 22 goals for the entire championship, 2 years ago - already 28, in the last championship - 32. After nine rounds of the current Bundesliga, its opponents have already scored 11 goals.
In the last round of the Cup, Bayern Munich knocked out Energie Cottbus from the tournament (1-3). As you can see, it conceded the goal, albeit at the end of the match and from the penalty spot. Bochum beat Baunatal – the club from Essen Oberliga (3-2). In the last round, Kovac fielded almost the regular squad. How it will be now? After all, in three days, Bayern will have to play in the championship against Eintracht away (Kovac will fight against his former team) and to host Greek Olympiakos in the Champions League in four days more. And in three more, the Reds will play against Dortmund Borussia. Anyway, Bochum will fight until the end. And judging by the aggressiveness of its attacking line, where you can distinguish Ganvula, who has already scored 8 goals in 10 matches, the hosts will probably manage to score their goal. The defense of the visitors is far from perfect now. But the goal of the champion is simply a matter of time, no matter which squad will appear on the pitch. Therefore, I think we will see an exchange of goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
