Bayer Leverkusen vs Bochum Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen have been one of the best sides in Europe this season, having won 12 of their first 15 league games and drawn the other three. Manager Xabi Alonso is earning plaudits for his work at the club, and that praise has inevitably been followed by his being linked to some of the biggest clubs in the world, including Real Madrid.
Victor Boniface has proven to be a revelation following his €20.5 million move from Union SG. The 22-year-old has already established himself as one of the best attackers in the Bundesliga, but attacking contributions have occurred in plenty from Bayer Leverkusen.
Bochum, on the other hand, are 13th in the league, having won two of their last five league games. They are six points ahead of 16th-placed Koln. The win over Union Berlin will provide them some confidence, but facing an in-form Bayer Leverkusen is another task altogether.
Having finished 14th last season, Bochum will hope to make some progress this time around.
Bayer Leverkusen are in incredible form at the moment, and are arguably the best team in the Bundesliga right now. We expect them to secure a win.
Prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 Bochum
