Nuri Sahin will be hoping that his Borussia Dortmund side can bounce back from their deserved defeat last time out by winning against VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga on Friday at Signal Iduna Park.

Home: Borussia Dortmund

Nuri Sahin is eager for his Borussia Dortmund squad to bounce back as they prepare to face VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga on Friday at Signal Iduna Park. Following a disappointing 5-1 loss to Stuttgart, where Sahin labeled the performance as a “non-performance,” the team currently sits in eighth place with seven points from four matches, trailing leaders Bayern Munich by five points. The defeat exposed serious defensive vulnerabilities, as Dortmund conceded seven goals in their last two league games. However, they have been formidable at home, winning five of their last six Bundesliga matches at Signal Iduna Park with a cumulative score of 15-3. Sahin expects his players to demonstrate resilience and reclaim their form in front of their home fans, aiming for a convincing victory.

Away : VfL Bochum

VfL Bochum arrives in Dortmund with a renewed sense of hope after securing their first point of the season in a 2-2 draw against Holstein Kiel. Manager Peter Zeidler will be relieved to have ended a disheartening run of three consecutive losses, although conceding an equalizer in the 89th minute remains a concern. Bochum currently sits in 16th place, having struggled significantly, producing the lowest expected goals (xG) in the league and having the fewest touches in the opponent's box. Their away form has also been troubling, with only four wins in their last 37 league matches on the road. As they face a challenging opponent in Dortmund, Zeidler must find ways to tighten the defense and capitalize on any scoring opportunities to secure a vital away point.

Prediction:  3-0
