Bayern looks to reclaim top spot from Bochum trip

Bayern Munich will be looking to reclaim top spot in the Bundesliga when they travel to Bochum on Saturday.

The German champions are currently two points behind leaders Union Berlin, who they face in a top-of-the-table clash next weekend. Bayern will be confident of victory against Bochum, who are 15th in the table and have lost their last three league games.

Bayern have a strong record against Bochum, having won their last eight meetings in all competitions. They will also be boosted by the return of Sadio Mane, who has been out with a leg injury since November. The Senegal international is expected to start on the bench, but he could make a cameo appearance in the second half.

Here is a preview of the match:

* Date: Saturday, January 28, 2023 * Time: 14:30 CET * Venue: Vonovia Ruhrstadion, Bochum * TV: BT Sport 2 (UK) * Live stream: DAZN (Germany)

Bayern Munich are expected to field a strong team for the match, with Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, and Kingsley Coman all in contention to start. Bochum are likely to be without several key players, including Anthony Losilla, Jannes Horn, and Takuma Asano. The match is expected to be a one-sided affair, with Bayern Munich the clear favorites to win.
