THE PREDICTION

Under the management of Thomas Letsch, Bochum have been very entertaining to watch this season and come into this one on the back of being hammered 5-2 by Borussia Monchengladbach at Borussia-Park last weekend. Their 23 matches so far this season have consisted of 74 goals. They now face an RB Leipzig side that suffered a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich last weekend with Harry Kane’s winning goal coming in second-half stoppage-time. That saw them slip out of the top four. They are favourites for this one but it could well be a tough test.

TIP: RB LEIPZIG TO WIN & BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
