Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormWhen Bayer Leverkusen last played in the league they faced Eintracht Frankfurt and produced an outstanding 3-0 home win. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Eintracht Frankfurt's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
With 15 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Xabi Alonso will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 15 games in a row, and so far this season they have kept 6 clean sheets in their 15 games overall.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 15 games in a row.
When home matches come round at BayArena, Victor Boniface will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Bayer Leverkusen's last 6 home league matches.
Bochum, Recent FormLast time out, Bochum recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Union Berlin. In that game they recorded 50 % of the possession, with 22 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 9 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 6 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 12 of their 15 games.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 8 away games.
Takuma Asano will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Bochum.
Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Bochum, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 3-0 defeat.
Leverkusen have managed to keep a clean sheet against Die Unabsteigbaren in each of their previous 2 meetings at BayArena. Leverkusen have scored in each of their last 12 games at home in the league against Die Unabsteigbaren.
Playing at home, Leverkusen have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 5 times they have faced Bochum in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso ahead of this clash, with Arthur de Matos Soares (Tendon) missing out, which gives Alonso a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Thomas Letsch has a number of injury concerns in his Bochum squad to contend with: Michael Esser (Knee), Bernardo Fernandes Silva (Knee), Philipp Förster (Gastrointestinal discomfort), Erhan Mašović (Illness), Lys Mousset (Achilles tendon), Ivan Ordets (Hip), Jordi Osei-Tutu (Cold), Mats Pannewig (Ankle) and Mohammed Tolba (Cruciate ligament)
