Bayer 04 Leverkusen vs VfL Bochum 1848 prediction 2023-12-20
Bayer Leverkusen and Bochum face each other at BayArena in a David-vs-Goliath clash. Xabi Alonso’s men rolled over Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 in their last league match to retain top position in the standings, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to regain the title. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Victor Boniface, who has netted seven goals in the German top flight this term, while Exequiel Palacios misses out through suspension.
Bochum, on the other hand, outplayed Union Berlin 3-0 at home, but given their anything but good away record in the 2023/2024 season, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from Wednesday’s clash. Kevin Stoger is banned for the match, while all Mats Pannewig, Jordi Osei-Tutu, Ivan Ordets, and Michael Esser remain on the sidelines with injuries, speaking of the away team.
Prediction: 3-0 (Bayer Leverkusen)
Expert: Footballpredictions-website
Bayer Leverkusen is the only undefeated team in the Bundesliga with 12 wins and three draws in the opening 15 matches of the season. Leverkusen managed to score 42 goals in the championship.
In ten of Bochum's 15 matches in the Bundesliga this season, both teams have scored, indicating a propensity for productive encounters. This trend is expected to continue in the match against the formidable Bayer Leverkusen. Nevertheless, it is expected that the hosts will have enough to win.
