Leipzig's stars shone just as we wanted them to last night, as both Xavi and Lois Openda found the net to land our Bet Builder. It's been a profitable week, and hopefully we can finish off with another winner.
We'll check in with crisis-hit Bayern Munich, who are effectively playing for the future of coach Thomas Tuchel as they make the trip to face Bochum. Bayern were smashed 3-0 last weekend in the top-two clash with the leaders Bayer Leverkusen, and if they lose this game in hand at the Ruhrstadion, they'll find themselves eight points adrift of top spot with just 12 league games remaining.
To make matters worse, Bayern lost 1-0 at Lazio in the Champions League, leaving them plenty of work to do to reach the quarter-finals. Tuchel's side didn't have a single shot on target in Rome, having managed just one in Leverkusen.
However, I do expect some sort of reaction in Bochum. Even though the Ruhr side are pretty strong at home, they lost 7-0 in Munich earlier in the campaign, with Harry Kane bagging a hat-trick. Indeed, Bayern have put seven goals past Bochum on three separate occasions across the last two-and-a-half seasons.
I'll back Kane to end his brief goal drought to kick off our Bet Builder. I'll back Bayern to win the Corner Match bet (Bochum average 3.5 corners per game, Bayern a league-high 7.3) and I'll back Bochum's Brazilian defender Bernardo to commit at least one foul - he is joint-top of his team's naughty list with 27 fouls so far this term in the Bundesliga.
That gives us a combined price of 2.6813/8.

Back Kane to score, Bayern Corner Match Bet and Bernardo to commit a foul at 2.6813/8
