Bochum vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• Only two sides failed to score in fewer league games than Leverkusen’s two.
• Leverkusen scored in both halves of half of their league games.
• Only three Bundesliga sides have a stronger win rate as pre-match favourites than Leverkusen’s 62%.
• Bochum have not failed to score in ten straight home H2H meetings.

Bochum are on their holidays

Realistically sitting too far from either a European push or a relegation battle, Bochum have little left to play for but a top-half finish in this Bundesliga campaign.

However, they have shown that they are still up for a fight with a 2-1 win away to Hoffenheim last time out, a great result upon the return of manager Thomas Reis following a bout of coronavirus.

Leverkusen looking to consolidate their top-four position

Currently comfortable in the top-four no matter what happens in this game, Leverkusen are only a few victories away from securing that mathematically and as such, they will be going hammer and tong for the win here.

Testament to Leverkusen’s frontline is the fact that they are in this position having kept clean sheets in just 21% of their league games this season. As such, both teams scored in 20 of their league outings, more than all but Dortmund ahead of the round.

Considering Leverkusen’s ridiculously high goals-per-game averages (3.9), the fact that they have something tangible to play for, we predict an away win in this clash. We are going for Leverkusen to win with both teams scoring, though for smaller stakes, this could be a narrow 2-1 success.
