Bayer Leverkusen vs Bochum Preview

Leverkusen are the superior side here and I expect them to collect points. Bochum have a great record when it comes to scoring against the big guns, finding the net against Bayern Munich, Frankfurt and Dortmund, so a home win & BTTS is the best bet.

Verdict

Bayer Leverkusen v Bochum

Leverkusen are plagued with injuries, which should help Bochum to find the net at least once. Hosts are heavily motivated to win and stay in the title race though, while the visitors are relegation candidates. Home win & BTTS is the best bet.
