Bayer Leverkusen hope to widen the gap at the Bundesliga summit when they play host to Bochum in their next league game. Coming into this game, Leverkusen are four points ahead of second placed Bayern Munich, while Bochum are 13th. Leverkusen brushed Eintracht Frankfurt aside in their last game, winning 3-0 at home. That result stretched their unbeaten run for the season to 24 matches. In the league, they’ve only failed to win three times, in draws against Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart. Being the only side yet to taste defeat in the league should be a source for Leverkusen’s confidence. In the last 10 matches they’ve had eight wins, but will be concerned about their defence in recent matches. Leverkusen have managed just one clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions.

Bochum’s last meeting with Bayer Leverkusen saw them stop a poor run against Leverkusen with a resounding 3-0 win. The visitors won at home back then, and this time they’ll want to do it away from home. If Bochum succeed here, it will be the biggest shock in the Bundesliga this season. That will especially be in regard to the fact the last time they faced a top two side, they lost 7-0 to Bayern Munich. In Bochum’s last two visits to Leverkusen, they lost without scoring. Their scoring run is much better now and they will want to make it count against Leverkusen. Bochum have failed to score in just two of their last 10 matches. Coming here, they scored three goals twice in the last three matches. Away from home this season, Bochum have played nine matches, and won just one. It will call for a lot to improve on this form away to Leverkusen.
