Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 away win over Borussia Mönchengladbach in their last league game, Bayer Leverkusen will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Borussia Mönchengladbach, who had 15 shots on goal with 8 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 14 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Xabi Alonso will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 7 goals in the same period. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Moussa Diaby will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at BayArena having scored 5 goals in Bayer Leverkusen's last 6 home games in the league.
Bochum, Recent FormBochum will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their home fixture against Hertha BSC. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Hertha BSC, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Thomas Letsch will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 10 goals conceded in the same period. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 14 of their 16 league games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 7 of their 8 away league games.
Philipp Hofmann will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Bochum.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
The Die Unabsteigbaren defence has struggled at BayArena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 11 visits. Ahead of this match, Die Unabsteigbaren won't be happy with their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal against Leverkusen in their last 2 meetings.
Bochum have lost the last 2 times they've have visited Leverkusen in the league and have failed to win any of their last 4 encounters at BayArena.
Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Charles Aránguiz (Calf), Joshua Eze (Muscle), Timothy Fosu-Mensah (Muscle) and Patrik Schick (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Letsch has a number of injury concerns in his Bochum squad to contend with: Michael Esser (Muscle), Cristian Gamboa (Knee), Paul Grave (Shoulder) and Konstantinos Stafylidis (Rib)
