Why a high-scoring draw against the Red Bulls is encouraging

Another problem, however, is the defense, as the Blue & Whites have already conceded 46 goals, which is only surpassed by 1. FC Heidenheim with 54 goals conceded. Bochum have at least picked up nine of their eleven points so far at home, which gives hope for the derby. Although they have not won their last four matches, the 3:3 draw against a strong opponent like RB Leipzig, in which VfL even overcame a 3:0 deficit at one stage, is encouraging.Last weekend, VfL fought their way to a 2:2 draw at Holstein Kiel and proved that they have not yet written themselves off. Especially not after the previous 1-0 home defeat against SC Freiburg.

How good is Borussia Dortmund's current form?

In the next part of the football predictions, it's all about the visitors from Dortmund, who only have a short journey and are traveling to Castroper Straße with a broad chest. After all, they have one foot in the last 16 of the Champions League after a clear 3:0 away win at Sporting Lisbon. Before that, BVB had also won its guest match at 1. FC Heidenheim 2:1. Finally, we should add. Because the whole truth also includes:It was only the second three-pointer for Dortmund in foreign Bundesliga stadiums.

International places are a long way off

Despite all this, Borussia Dortmund has not yet achieved anything. And the pressure remains. Because the home game against VfB Stuttgart (1:2) was messed up at the premiere of new coach Niko Kovac, the Westphalians are currently eleventh in the Bundesliga table. They are four points behind sixth place and the international ranks. The gap is even seven points to fourth-placed RB Leipzig. In this respect, BVB cannot afford another slip-up in Bochum, which could play into the hands of VfL, who have nothing to lose anyway.Borussia have already scored 73 goals in their 21 matches to date. That's an average of almost 3.5 goals per game.

Our expert tips & predictions for VfL Bochum v Borussia Dortmund

Even though Bochum have been rather harmless offensively so far this season 24/25, VfL have always managed to score a goal of their own in seven of their last eight encounters with BVB. This makes the Both Teams To Score an obvious choice. As the last three games against Dortmund at home have already ended in draws, and 16 of 33 at Castroper Straße, we have opted for the Draw X in the expert tips with more risk, which of course promises particularly high odds for your next soccer bets.
