The two teams have squared off 82 times across competitions, with Bayern leading 55-11

Bayern Munich host 16th placed Bochum at the Allianz Arena on Matchday 25 of the Bundesliga.

The Bavarians dominated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie in the last game. They take a commanding advantage ahead of the second leg.

Bochum last beat the Bavarians in February 2024 when they ran out 3-2 victors at home. Bayern won four of their previous five encounters with Bochum, scoring 24 goals in total while conceding only three.

Their upcoming mid-week Champions League second-leg showdown against Leverkusen should push Kompany to make many changes to his starting lineup for this game.

Bayern will line up with a heavily rotated squad since they will play the second leg against Bayer Leverkusen straight after.

Jonas Urbig makes his Bundesliga debut, with a back line of Raphaël Guerreiro, Hiroki Ito, Eric Dier, and Sacha Boey in front of him. Joshua Kimmich (there’s no benching him) and Konrad Laimer will play in the pivot, while Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller, and Jamal Musiala provide support for Harry Kane.

Vincent Kompany will look to take care of business early so he could sub out the starters for the return leg in Leverkusen.
