Bundesliga returns again with a round of matches starting tonight. Bochum host Dortmund at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on this Friday night. Bochum are currently placed on the 15th position in the league table with 27 points from 29 games played. They are only two points away from the relegation playoff spot, and three points away from the relegation zone. They were well beaten at home in their last outing by Wolfsburg. They lost the match by 1-5. Meanwhile, Dortmund replaced Bayern Munich at the top of the league table last weekend. They are at the top with 60 points after same number of games as Bochum. They are only a point above Bayern Munich, and will be keen not to slip especially tonight. They trashed Eintracht Frankfurt in their last game by 4-0 scoreline. And, they will be looking to inflict same damage on Bochum in this fixture. I am expecting a Dortmund win in this fixture for the following reasons:

Firstly. Dortmund have been in an exceptional form recently. They have won two of their last three games, scoring a total of nine goals in the process. Their attack have been making the difference for them throughout the season, and have been the main talking point. They have scored up to two goals and above in five of their last six games; and this has been a common phenomenon throughout the season. It is not surprising that they have the second best attacking line in the league after Bayern Munich. Dortmund are sure to be too much to handle for Bochum who have the worst defensive record in the league.

Secondly. Bochum have not been at their best so far this season. They are dangerously close to the relegation zone, after recording some damaging results recently. They have not won any match in their last four games; losing two of them. After their 5-1 defeat in their previous game, they will need to work hard to bounce back. They have now lost seven of their last eleven games; and they conceded more than a goal in each of them. Defensive problems have been their major issue this season. They have conceded 66 league goals so far, the highest in the league.

Bochum just do not have what it takes to withstand the firepower of Dortmund right now. Looking at their recent home record, it is not encouraging as well, as they have lost five of their last six home games. Though Bochum are fighting against relegation and that makes them dangerous, Dortmund have too much quality, and should be winning this encounter.

德甲联赛再次回归，今晚开始进行一轮比赛。波鸿本周五晚上在 Vonovia Ruhrstadion 主场迎战多特蒙德。波鸿目前在联赛中排名第15位，29场比赛积27分。他们距离保级附加赛区只有两分之差，距离降级区只有三分之差。他们在上一场对阵沃尔夫斯堡的比赛中主场惨败。他们以 1-5 输掉了比赛。与此同时，多特蒙德上周末取代拜仁慕尼黑成为联赛榜首。在与波鸿相同的比赛场次之后，他们以 60 分位居榜首。他们只比拜仁慕尼黑高出一分，尤其是在今晚，他们会渴望不下滑。他们在上一场比赛中以 4-0 的比分大胜法兰克福。而且，他们希望在这场比赛中对波鸿造成同样的伤害。我期待多特蒙德在这场比赛中获胜，原因如下：

首先。多特蒙德最近的状态非常出色。他们赢了两场在过去的三场比赛中，他们总共打进了九个进球。他们的进攻在整个赛季都对他们产生了影响，并且一直是主要话题。在过去的六场比赛中，他们有五场打进了两个以上的进球；这是整个赛季的普遍现象。他们拥有仅次于拜仁慕尼黑的联赛第二好的攻击线也就不足为奇了。对于联盟防守记录最差的波鸿来说，多特蒙德肯定难以应付。

第二。波鸿本赛季到目前为止还没有达到最佳状态。在最近记录了一些破坏性的结果之后，他们危险地接近降级区。他们在最近的四场比赛中没有赢过任何一场比赛；失去其中两个。在上一场比赛以 5-1 失利后，他们需要努力才能反弹。他们现在已经输掉了过去 11 场比赛中的 7 场；他们每个人都丢了一个以上的球。防守问题已经他们本赛季的主要问题。到目前为止，他们已经丢了66个联赛进球，在联赛中是最高的。

波鸿现在没有能力抵挡多特蒙德的火力。看看他们最近的主场战绩，也并不令人鼓舞，因为他们在最近的六场主场比赛中输掉了五场。尽管波鸿正在为保级而战，这让他们很危险，但多特蒙德的实力太强了，应该会赢得这场比赛。
