The atmosphere in the Ruhr Stadium this Sunday is great again even before kick-off. At a pleasant 24 degrees, everything is ready for a football festival at the end of the third match day of the Bundesliga.

Of course, Thomas Reis also remembers the last meeting well. “Of course we still remember our last game against FC Bayern. It was a great game from us, people are still talking about it today,” said the Bochum coach, who wants to see “heart, will and passion” from his players today. His plan for another coup against the record champions: “You have to defend well and have the courage to push into the room. Then we’ll see what comes out in the end.”

“The defeat is still in our heads,” Julian Nagelsmann admitted in the run-up to the game and made it absolutely clear: “We definitely don’t want to lose a second time.” The Bayern coach analyzed the opponent’s game in detail. “In Riemann they have a goalkeeper who plays a lot and good long balls. In the first two games he played most of the whole league again. Stöger is a very good new signing and played very well in the first few games. That means we have to be prepared for both long and short balls,” Nagelsmann believes.

The Reds will be warned despite their clear role as favourites. Because last year you traveled to Bochum as a big favorite and suffered a memorable 4-2 defeat there, in which VfL played into a real frenzy. So Bayern will be out for revenge today.

Let’s take a look at the starting line-up: There is only one change in the home side that made Philipp Förster’s starting eleven debut. Jordi Osei-Tutu rotates onto the bench. On the other hand, Julian Nagelsmann changes his starting eleven for the first time and brings in three new ones. Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala are missing, Serge Gnabry rotates to the bench. Matthijs de Ligt makes his starting XI debut, with Leroy Sané and Kingsley Coman also starting.

Bochum are still pointless after two games. Although the performances against Mainz (1: 2) and Hoffenheim (2: 3) were at least temporarily very respectable, in the end it was not enough for something countable. It was particularly bitter last weekend when they had already led 2-0 in Sinsheim and just before the end they lost 2-3. Bayern, on the other hand, are back in full swing and, after beating Frankfurt (6-1) and Wolfsburg (2-0), are already the only team in the league without a loss. If the vest stays white today, FCB will climb back to the top of the table.
