Team News

Bochum
RBL
  • Captain Anthony Losilla is available after suspension, but goalkeeper Manuel Riemann and Erhan Masovic are both on the naughty step after picking up five yellow cards.
  • Christopher Antwi-Adjei, Patrick Osterhage and Tim Oermann are all struggling with muscle injuries. Back up keeper Michael Esser has a knee issue, while Mohammed Tolba has suffered an ACL injury.
  • Lukas Klostermann has picked up a muscle injury and is ruled out, while Xaver Schlager is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card against Bayern.
  • Péter Gulácsi missed last weekend in Munich with a pectoral injury but may return in goal.

Prediction

  • Minnows Bochum beat Bayern last time on home soil , while Leipzig will have one eye on their Champions League trip to Madrid.
  • Tougher to beat this season, a league-high ten draws have prevented any genuine momentum for Bochum who sit one place above relegation trouble.
  • The reverse fixture finished goalless with Leipzig missing two penalties, but the visitors need a win to keep in the hunt for a Champions League spot and should comfortably claim the three points.
