Prediction: 1-3
Bayer Leverkusen
Bochum and Bayer Leverkusen face each other at Vonovia Ruhrstadion in a David-vs-Goliath clash. Bochum’s main goal is to secure yet another Bundesliga survival, while Bayer Leverkusen are determined to defend their title. The hosts, though, are on a five-game losing run in the league and given their poor defensive display in a 7-2 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, home win should not be considered. All Philipp Hofmann, Myron Boadu, and Bernardo are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The BayArena outfit, on the other hand, aim to recover from the Champions League loss to Liverpool. As Leverkusen will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we are tempted to place our bets on Xabi Alonso’s troops. Last time out Bayer Leverkusen cruised past Bochum 5-0 at Vonovia Ruhrstadion. The likes of Nordi Mukiele, Martin Terrier, Amine Adli, and Jeanuel Belocian miss out with injuries for the away team.
