Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After failing to spoil Leipzig’s party at Red Bull Arena, Borussia M’gladbach will look to put an end to their five-match winless run in Bundesliga when they take on Bochum on Saturday afternoon. Die Fohlen are eager to escape the danger zone and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field this time out. Both Nico Elvedi and Ko Itakura are banned for the match, while all Alassane Plea, Florian Neuhaus, Christoph Kramer, Tomas Cvancara, Hannes Wolf, and Jonas Omlin are out of contention with injuries.
Bochum, on the other hand, did well to shock Bayern Munich in front of home fans at the weekend, but given their poor away record in the German top flight, we are tempted to put our money on the relegation-threatened hosts. To make things even worse for the visiting side, Anthony Losilla serves a one-game ban, while all Mohammed Tolba, Niclas Thiede, Patrick Osterhage, and Michael Esser remain in the treatment room.
