Bochum take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the round 30 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, April 28th at Vonovia Ruhrstadion (Bochum).
Since 2010, Bochum have been unable to return from the 2nd Bundesliga. In 2021, no one believed that anything had changed, as they finished only 8th in the previous season. But Thomas Reis won the division outright. Then they played decently at the forgotten level, finishing in 13th position. But after that, the classic and often difficult "second season" began. In September, the recent hero, coach Reis, was fired due to a poor start. He was replaced by another namesake, Leitl, but there was no particular progress. It was only in November, before the break, that they managed to win twice in a row! And then they sometimes had good matches, and even stretches of good play. Including in March, when they beat "Cologne" and "RB Leipzig" in succession. In April, their results were mixed. On the one hand, they fought for points away, playing with "Union" and "Eintracht", but at home they managed to lose to "Stuttgart", a direct competitor. Well, everything fell apart completely against "Wolfsburg" – they lost 1-5 at home.

Borussia returned to 2nd place in the Bundesliga last season under Marco Rose. However, in general, that specialist did not live up to the expectations for which he was so persistently lured from Mönchengladbach in 2021. In the end, they returned to their previous coach, Terzic, but this time the young coach received a full contract. However, even with him, the "bumblebees" have been showing themselves quite inconsistently. They made it to the Champions League, unlike the previous cycle, but then, after starting with a 1-0 home win in the round of 16, they lost to "Chelsea" 0-2 in London and ended this European cup cycle early. And soon they were also knocked out of the cup, losing with the same score in the "RB Leipzig" Cup. They managed to make a powerful breakthrough to 1st place in the Bundesliga by March. But April began with a defeat in the head-to-head match against "Bayern". And then they missed out on a victory over "Stuttgart", conceding a goal in the 97th minute to draw 3-3. However, the "record masters" also made mistakes, and a crushing victory over "Eintracht" (Frankfurt) allowed them to reclaim 1st place.
Last season, "Bochum" took 4 points out of 6. But this season, "Borussia" won both in the Bundesliga and in the country cup. It is hard to believe that after regaining the leadership, the "bumblebees" will immediately put it at risk by stumbling. We recommend betting that Edin Terzic's charges will be able to achieve victory with a handicap of "-1.0 goals scored."
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win with -1.0 handicap.
