Let's take a closer look at the latest markets, odds and probability figures ahead of Saturday’s clash featuring Bochum – Borussia Dortmund below.

Bochum odds: 29/5 (6.80) – 14.7%

Draw odds: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%

Borussia Dortmund odds: 2/5 (1.40) – 71.4%

The bookies have identified Borussia Dortmund as their expected winners this weekend with the implied probability of an away win on their menu at 71.4%. Elsewhere, backing over 2.5 goals to hit the net could be an angle to analyse at 1/3 (1.33 – 75%), while backing visitors to lead in the half time market could also be a smart move at 4/5 (1.80). That one has a 55.6% chance of coming in according to the latest probability figures.

Bochum vs Borussia Dortmund Team News & Injuries

Read all of the latest injury updates, Bochum vs Borussia Dortmund lineups and team news for Saturday’s encounter below.

Bochum

Bochum will be missing Matus Bero, Tim Oermann, Moritz Kwarteng and Mohammed Tolba this weekend. Bochum were obliterated 5-0 at Stuttgart in their first league test of the new campaign last week.

Predicted Lineup for Bochum: Riemann – Masovic, Ordets, Bernardo – Passlack, Losilla, Stoger, Wittek – Asano, Antwi-Adjei, Hofmann

Borussia Dortmund

The injury picture at Dortmund is starting to improve though they still can't call upon the services of Thomas Meunier, Julien Duranville, Mateu Morey and Giovanni Reyna. BVB needed an 88th-minute winner to topple Koln last week.

Predicted Lineup for Borussia Dortmund: Kobel – Ryerson, Sule, Hummels, Bensebaini – Sabitzer, Can, Malen, Reus, Brandt – Haller

Player to Watch – Julian Brandt

Schemer Julian Brandt was at his creative best for Dortmund last week. The wide attacker played a game-high six key passes against Koln and on another day he would have had a glut of assists. The 27-year-old could pass holes in the Bochum defence this weekend.
