VfL Bochum vs Borussia Dortmund (BOC vs DOR) Match Preview

BOC vs DOR Match Preview: The Bundesliga match between VfL Bochum vs Borussia Dortmund will be played on Saturday, 26 August 2023 at 07:00 PM IST.

The hosts suffered a 5-0 thumping in their campaign opener away at Stuttgart last week and will look to return to winning ways in their first home match of the season.

The visitors got their league campaign underway with a 1-0 home win over Koln. Donyell Malen scored an 88th-minute winner to ensure two wins from as many competitive games for his side.

When the two teams met in April earlier this year, Bochum, who were struggling to keep their top-flight status intact, held the visitors to a 1-1 draw at home. The draw would later come back to haunt the visitors, as they let the title slip out of their hands on the final day and finished behind Bayern Munich only on goal difference.

They are unbeaten in their last three Bundesliga home games, recording two wins while also scoring three goals apiece in these wins. They have also held Dortmund to a 1-1 draw in their last two home meetings in the league.

Die Schwarzgelben head into the match in great form and are unbeaten in their last 17 games, including friendlies. They have dropped points just four times in that period, which included a 1-1 draw away at Bochum in April. Bochum 1-2 Borussia Dortmund
