Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich will hope to bounce back from their Champions League humiliation against Barcelona when they travel to face VfL Bochum at Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Sunday in the Bundesliga.

The hosts lost 3-1 against Hoffenheim last time out on October 19, and only scored once despite producing nearly 3 xG, as well as creating five big chances.

Bochum have in fact created the joint 11th most big chances in the league, but have only netted eight times, the second fewest in the division.

Peter Zeidler was on the touchline against Hoffenheim as manager, but he was sacked on Sunday, with Markus Feldhoff and Murat Ura taking charge of the club on an interim basis.

The pair take over a team that have not won any of their eight most recent competitive games, losing seven and drawing one in that period.

Bochum have also lost 14 of their last 19 Bundesliga matches, and have lost five, drawn three and won just one of their last nine fixtures at home in the league.

Meanwhile, Bayern come into the clash having lost 4-1 against Hansi Flick's Barcelona on Wednesday, a match in which Raphinha managed to score a hat-trick and former Bavarian Robert Lewandowski also netted.

Kompany said in the aftermath of the defeat that there were no excuses for his side's performance, and he did not disagree with the notion that his team were set up far too offensively.

The result means that Bayern have now lost two of their three Champions League games and are in 23rd place in the table.

The Bavarians are first in the Bundesliga and to their credit, they have faced champions Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt and last season's runners-up Stuttgart in their last three league games and came away undefeated.

Bayern beat Stuttgart 4-0 on October 19 in their most recent top-flight outing, with Harry Kane netting three times in a rampant display.

The visitors have won three and drawn one of their last four away Bundesliga matches, scoring 17 goals but conceding on six occasions in that time.
