Dortmund’s performance against Stuttgart in the weekend was very poor and I am very surprised they conceded that many goals against Stuttgart. It is certain that Dortmund are not in their best form this season, they are significantly below their form from the previous season. They seem weaker than Bayern Munich, and Bayer Leverkusen. I hope they can learn from their mistakes in this game and prepare to face Bochum.

Even with the perceived weakness around Dortmund, i still believe with Bochum they are going to perform differently even if they don't win with a really big goal margin since they aren't in their best form. looking at the standings, you will see h ow poor Bochum have been, literally they are in the red zone and have won no game out of the four played so far but have drawn only one while they have lost the other three so I'm not seeing any form of strength from them with which they are going to cause Dortmund performing so poorly or even not been able to get decent result form this game. At the eight position with two wins, onw loss and one draw, its an exhibition of a fair strength and an average performance Bochum will have to be dealing with which they may not be able to really take head on, even the teams they have played against so far aren't as good as Dortmund except for Leipzig who won them with a red card.
