Bochum vs RB Leipzig Prediction: Comfortable 3 points for Leipzig

RB Leipzig have another chance to extend their brilliant performance last time out, as they travel to face Bochum at Vonovia Ruhrstadion for fixture 25 of the Bundesliga.

Bochum secured all 3 points after a very poor run of form and they will hope to continue in front of thousands of fans against a top side. RB Leipzig are in a close chase for the Bundesliga crown, although they are 7 points away, they need to keep winning if they must have any real chance of getting to the title.

Bochum pulled off a shocking performance in their last match and they got a 2-0 win against FC Koln away from home. Bochum had only 37% possession, 3 shots on target and 1 corner kick throughout the 90 minutes. Kevin Stoger and Erhan Masovic both scored in both halves to secure all 3 points for Bochum. In their last 5 matches, Bochum recorded 1 win and 4 defeats. Bochum are currently 14th in the league, 22 points from 24 matches. They recorded 7 wins, 1 draw and 16 losses.

Leipzig should not struggle in such fixtures on a normal day, but this current Leipig has had several off days, which makes me wonder if this could be one of those days. Bochum are by far the inferior team against Leipzig, but Leipzig will need a good performance to beat them at home.
