Bochum take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the 1/8-finals of German DFB Pokal. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 8th at Vonovia Ruhrstadion (Bochum).
Bochum spends the 2nd season in the top division. And so far everything is developing quite typically, as for such a situation. A club with a history, but for a long time not really showing anything, with a sudden promotion to the elite, and then showed decent statistics there, finishing in the last championship among the middle peasants. But now, as often happens, there is a frankly weak 2nd year after promotion. The standard move in the form of a change of mentor also showed nothing particularly. On the other hand, there are plenty of other outsiders in Bundesliga 1 right now. And, most importantly, in January, the "inflexible" show that they can sometimes "shoot". First, they managed to beat 3-1 Hertha at home, then, after away defeats to the stronger ones, Bayer and Mainz, they managed to show themselves well against Hoffenheim. After those 5-2, Breitenreiter was sacked, but the main thing for Bochum is that they moved to 15th place.

Borussia Dortmund under Marco Rosa returned to 2nd place in the Bundesliga last season. But in other tournaments, everything was so bad that they parted with this specialist last summer, after a year of cooperation. As a result, they decided to return Edin Terzic to the post. That, however, was, to put it mildly, not the best autumn segment, at least in the domestic arena. But now, in winter, the "black and yellow" consistently show the maximum result. Quite often you have to show a "signature" style, simply scoring more than conceding - often in the end - 4-3 with Augsburg, 2-1 with Mainz. But in the last fights it turns out to show more confident, solid victories. The strong Bayer was defeated 2-0 in Leverkusen, while the ambitious Freiburg were beaten 5-1. As a result, the Bumblebees have already jumped to 3rd place, and, most importantly, have sharply reduced the distance from the eternal champion, Bayern.
Last season, Bochum managed to collect 4 out of 6 possible points in head-to-heads with the giant from Dortmund. But at the same time, in November, Borussia was able to take a confident revenge when they defeated their rival 3-0. Bookmakers believe that in this pair, the visitors will not have problems with success in the cup. We recommend betting that in this match Borussia will be able to win with a handicap of "-1 goal scored"
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win with -1.0 handicap.
