Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Leipzig
Match Time & Date:
03/02/2021
18:30
Prediction: 2-0
Bochum
Leipzig will be looking to build on the Bundesliga win over Bayer Leverkusen when they take on Bochum at Red Bull Arena in the German Cup last 16. The Red Bulls are a real force to be reckoned with at home, and even though boss Julian Nagelsmann is going to mix the squad against Bochum, home win should be considered. The likes of Forsberg, Hartmann, Henrichs, Laimer, and Szoboszlai are all out of contention with injuries.
Bochum, on the other hand, are determined to return to Bundesliga, and, no doubt, the club’s main goal is to secure a top-two finish in the German second tier. Since Leipzig have slim chances of winning the Bundesliga title, we are positive that they will give 100% to go all the way in the DFB Pokal. In their last meeting in a competitive match Leipzig outplayed Bochum 3-1.
