Borussia Dortmund's form is improving, Bochum is worried, and Verona is expected to fight!
Borussia Dortmund-Bochum German Superliga.
After 18 league games, Borussia Dortmund are currently fifth in the league with 33 points. Borussia Dortmund are on good momentum, winning two games in a row with a 4-0 win over Cologne last week, and in that time they have scored seven goals without conceding a single goal, which is a good player, while their record in the previous eight rounds was six draws and two defeats, which is a good result.
After 18 rounds of Premier League matches, Bochum is currently in 14th place with 20 points. They beat Stuttgart 1-0 in the previous round of the Premier League and have won 1-1 and 2-1 in their last two rounds, both in their home turf. Bochum's current results are worrying, with just six points from the German league so far, making them the third team to finish third away from home in the German league.
The last five meetings between the two sides have resulted in one win, one draw and three defeats, with Dortmund picking up a game in their home country last season. Borussia Dortmund have been in good form of late, both attacking and defending, while Bochum have lost two goals in a row and have not been in great form during that time, Dortmund will be hoping to get all three points and get a huge win and they have scored more goals.
Verona v Frosinone, Italian Super Cup.
Hellas Verona are now in 18th place with 17 points from the new 21 rounds. Hellas Verona, who lost 2-1 to Roma last week and 4-2 in their last six games, have been inconsistent and have been in good form at home despite winning the title on their home turf on both occasions.
After 21 rounds of Premier League matches, Frosinone is temporarily in 13th place with 22 points. They returned to action with a 3-1 win over Cagliari last week, ending a run of five defeats. Frosinone have conceded 24 goals in their last nine away matches and have struggled at home.
Hellas Verona have picked up 12 points, or 70, at home this season, most of which they have done at home stadium and they have been doing well in recent games. Frosinone have been poor on their road trip after eight consecutive away defeats so expect Verona to pick up all the points in this win.
