Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-0 Bochum
The Bavarians are in prime form and should win this one comfortably as they are on a six-match winning streak and are slowly getting back to the team of last season. Ruthless and defiant.
With successive losses, Bochum have lost form and will find it difficult to get the job done against the high- flying Bayern side.
Players to watch out for: Lewandowski, Musiala, Holtmann and Polter.
