Bayern Munich enjoyed a productive week as they finally defeated Bayer Leverkusen this season. In the fourth encounter between both sides this season, Bayern managed to come away with a 3-0 win at Allianz Arena. They have gained a crucial advantage ahead of the return leg of the round of 16 clash in the Champions League.
The Bavarian club will turn their attention to Bundesliga on Saturday as they host Bochum on matchday 25. With 10 games remaining in the league, a positive result in Bochum will take Bayern closer to getting their hands back on the Bundesliga title.
Rekordmeister are unbeaten in their last eight games. Apart from a 0-0 draw away at Leverkusen in mid-February, Bayern have not dropped points in the league since the start of 2025. They have been dominating teams consistently and recently shown more efficiency in the final third.
Meanwhile, Bochum are staring at the prospect of relegation from the Bundesliga. They are currently 16th in the points table, four points away from the safe 15th position. Bochum have won only one of their last five league games. As things stand, it will take a tremendous effort from Bochum in the last 10 games to avoid relegation. A positive result against Bayern can help Bochum get the ideal confidence boost before the final third of the season.
Bayern had hammered five goals past Bochum when these two sides met in October. Considering how well Bayern have done at Allianz Arena this season, Bochum may face another big defeat on Saturday.
With Harry Kane back in form, Die Roten are entering the final stage of the season in the best possible shape. The English striker will look to follow up his brace against Leverkusen by scoring a few goals against Bochum. Let us look at the avenues through which the Bavarian faithful across the world can watch this game on Saturday.
