Team News

Bochum
Leverkusen
  • Bernardo is struggling with a knee injury, while Matus Bero is still feeling a knee injury.
  • Koji Miyoshi is struggling with a thigh injury, while Myron Boadu missed the Bayern defeat last weekend but may return to contention.
  • Amine Adli is likely to miss the rest of the year with a fractured fibula, while Jeanuël Belocian is struggling with a foot injury. Nordi Mukiele is ruled out with a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • Bochum have all week to plot a shock under new coach Dieter Hecking, while Leverkusen will have to recover from their Champions League drubbing in Liverpool.
  • Still searching for an elusive first win of the campaign, Bochum have failed to keep a clean sheet in 25 games, losing their last two games 7-2 and 5-0.
  • Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions sit in fourth, seven points off the top after showing some early season rust, with the joint most draws (4) stalling momentum.
  • Leverkusen cruised both games last season without conceding (5-0, 4-0) and can comfortably clinch the three points again as they look to close the gap at the top.

  • Leverkusen far from the level they were at last season, obviously it was always going to be hard to replicate that but holy damn

  • Less than two goals

  • Schick +120 / Wirtz +150 TSA

  • Away Win

  • The Leverkusen magic seems to be gone. They should win here though

  • @StickandMove the magic is not only gone, bad luck is added to the mix.

  • Leverkusen to win and over 1.5 first goals

  • Bochum have the worst defensive record in the division shipping 29 goals in their opening 9 league games.

  • @Marbella A trash can would be more effective in-front of goal

  • @KingKeno wtf������

  • @Pathogen360 relax M8
