Last Game: Stuttgart 5-0 VfL Bochum
Saturday, August 19 at 2.30pm in Bundesliga

We said: VfL Bochum 1-3 Borussia Dortmund

After conceding five goals in a dismal display last time out, Bochum will be desperate to avoid another mauling this weekend, meaning that Letsch should set his team up to defend. Still, Dortmund possess more than enough attacking firepower to break through Bochum's backline, so we expect the visitors to claim a comfortable victory at Vonovia Ruhrstadion. Read more.
