Prediction: 2-3
Borussia Dortmund
Bochum will look to put an end to their four-game winless run when they take on Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 22. Bochum played out a 2-2 draw with Holstein Kiel in the relegation six-pointer, but that did not help them escape the rock-bottom position. As striker Myron Boadu, who scored a brace at the weekend, misses out with injury, home win should not be considered. Defender Maximilian Wittek serves a one-game ban, but midfielder Ibrahim Sissoko is back from suspension.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, are not enjoying a Bundesliga season to remember, with the team sitting in 11th place in the standings with only 29 points on their account. Borussia Dortmund, though, proved their worth in a 3-0 Champions League win over Sporting CP, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Karim Adeyemi and Co. Nico Schlotterbeck is back from suspension, but Julian Ryerson serves a one-game ban against Bochum.
Highlighted Player (Julian Brandt):
Julian Brandt is one of the most promising wingers in Germany. He started playing football in his hometown, Bremen, at SC Borgfeld, moving to FC Oberneuland, after which he joined VLF Wolfsburg’s youth academy. With 27 goals in his 48 games during two seasons with the Wolves, Brandt recommended himself to Bayer 04 Leverkusen, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract in January 2014.
The 22-year-old winger prefers to play on the left flank, but he can also provide help on the right side, as well as an attacking midfielder. During the season 2015/2016, Julian Brandt netted goals in six consecutive games, becoming the youngest player since Gerd Muller to achieve this.
The good performances in the season made Joackim Low call the youngster in Germany’s preliminary 27-man squad for the Euro 2016 and he made his first appearance for the senior squad in May 2016, against Slovakia. He was a part of the Germany squad at the Summer Olympics, where Brandt and his teammates won the silver medal. In the summer of 2018, Julian Brandt made the World Cup team.
Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
