Bundesliga today: Bochum – Bayern LIVE on TV, live ticker & live stream

FC Bayern will return to winning ways after the bitter defeat against FC Barcelona in the Champions League. With VfL Bochum, an opponent awaits in the Bundesliga on Sunday (3:30 p.m.) who has recently proven to be a stumbling block.

Since being promoted again in 2021, VfL has shown remarkable home strength against FC Bayern Munich. In the last three Bundesliga home games against the record champions, the Bochum team were able to achieve two wins, including an exciting 3-2 in February 2024. This record is impressive when you consider that Bochum only celebrated two wins against Bayern in the previous 21 home games could. Only against TSG Hoffenheim has Bochum been more successful in the last three seasons with three home wins.

In order to return from the Bochum Ruhrstadion with a three-pointer this time, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany is relying on a starting eleven that has changed in three positions compared to the Barcelona game.

Neuer – Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies – Kimmich, Palhinha – Olise, Musiala, Coman – Kane

Jamal Musiala came into the lineup for Thomas Müller, Kingsley Coman was preferred over Serge Gnabry and Konrad Laimer replaced Raphael Guerreiro, who was overwhelmed against Barca.

Joshua Kimmich and Joao Palhinha, who is also pale in the premier class, continue to form the midfield center. Minjae Kim and Dayot Upamecano also retain their place in the first eleven.

Kompany spoke before kick-off DAZN of a treacherous task. “We come here to deliver our performance.” “We’ve been looking forward to this game for days,” said the Bayern coach. It's about the collective and you don't want to be distracted by the good atmosphere in Bochum.

Kompany has made an impressive start as coach of FC Bayern Munich. In his first seven Bundesliga games he saw his team score 24 goals, which is a Bundesliga record.

Only Udo Lattek was able to score as many goals in his first seven games in 1970. Interestingly, Kompany saw his only straight red card as a player in the Bundesliga in Bochum, of all places, when he suffered a 2-1 defeat with Hamburger SV in 2007.

FC Bayern Munich is second in the table to bottom club VfL Bochum. With a win he would be at the top again, as he was before the match day. In the last 15 duels between a last team and a first team, the last team has only been able to win once – and that was VfL Bochum itself, when they beat Union Berlin 2-1 in October 2022.

FC Bayern have not lost against a bottom team since March 2008 and are aiming to continue this streak. Bochum, on the other hand, is fighting for connection with just one point from seven games and is playing its split next Bundesliga season.

FC Bayern Munich is showing impressive offensive power this season, especially in away games. With 17 goals in the first four away games, the Munich team set a new Bundesliga record. At the same time, however, they have only kept one clean sheet in their last 15 away games.

Bochum have not finished a game without conceding a goal in 23 consecutive Bundesliga games, which is the second longest streak in their history. Both teams relied on intense pressing, which suggested an exciting duel in midfield.
