Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bochum will be eager to secure their first win of the season when they take on Holstein Kiel in this Bundesliga clash. Despite being winless so far, Bochum's desperation to turn things around could fuel a strong home performance. However, injuries to key players such as Cristian Gamboa, Mohammed Tolba, Bernardo, and Ivan Ordets have limited their defensive options. The hosts head into the match after a tough 6-1 defeat against Bayern Munich, highlighting their struggles at the back.
The newcomers, on the other hand, have their own issues to contend with. Holstein Kiel looked shaky defensively in their last few outings, including a heavy loss, and will be without the injured trio of Aron Bernhardsson, Lewin Kelati, and Timo Kleine-Bekel. Given Bochum’s desperation for points and the away team's shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday's Bundesliga encounter.
