Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bochum and Eintracht Frankfurt square off against each other at Vonovia Ruhrstadion on day 4 of the new Bundesliga campaign. Bochum are determined to record their first win of the season and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in Saturday’s encounter. A man to watch in the home team will be Japan forward Takuma Asano, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Augsburg, while all Pannewig, Masovic, Osei-Tutu, Esser, Mousset, and Tolba continue to miss out with injuries.
Die Adler, on the other hand, aim to remain undefeated in the 2023/2024 season, but seeing that Bochum are tough to beat at home, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from the round 4 clash. Summer signing Niels Nkounkou is pushing for a start, while both Eric Ebimbe and Kristijan Jakic are major doubts. Midfielder Mehdi Loune has yet to overcome an ACL injury.
