Bochum, with just one point from nine matches, is set to host Bayer Leverkusen in a crucial Bundesliga clash. As the only winless team this season, Bochum will aim to improve their dismal record against Leverkusen, having conceded nine goals and failed to score in two matches last season.
Currently, Bochum has the joint second-lowest goal tally and the highest number of goals conceded (29). In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen is coming off a disappointing 4-0 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League, marking their second consecutive match without a goal. Despite this setback, Leverkusen has a strong history against Bochum, winning four of their last six encounters.
Leverkusen has also been impressive away from home, remaining unbeaten in their last 21 Bundesliga away matches. Interestingly, Bochum was the last team to defeat Leverkusen on their home turf in the Bundesliga.
Given the current form and historical performance, Bayer Leverkusen is favored to secure a victory in this matchup.
