THE PREDICTION
RB Leipzig finally showed what they are capable of this season in their most recent Bundesliga fixture which saw them thrash Hertha 6-0 at Red Bull Arena. However, Jesse Marsch side come into this one on the back of a second successive Champions League defeat after being beaten at home by Club Brugge in midweek. Bochum represent a far weaker opponent, having picked up just one point from their last four league games, conceding 12 goals and failing to score in their most recent two matches. Marsch found a winning formula for Leipzig last weekend, which saw him leave striker Andre Silva on the bench and the Portuguese star could well find himself a substitute once again here. Regardless of who the RB Leipzig head coach fields in attack, the hosts should wind up far too strong for Bochum and are expected to triumph by at least two clear goals.
