Bochum - Bayer Leverkusen predictions

Bochum are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Bundesliga, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 4.45, it’s not very likely to happen.

Having a 1.77 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with Bayer Leverkusen largely expected to beat Bochum, you’d be wise to use it.

Bochum will be brimming with confidence following their Union Berlin away win in the last round of the Bundesliga. Betting odds available at most top bookmakers had predicted a tight game and they were right. Bochum managed to get a first-half lead and steer the result forward much to their fans’ excitement.

Leverkusen are here on the back of an impressive display of their strong form. Although their victory at Eintracht Frankfurt was priced at 2.47, they spent the entire runtime ahead and decisively won with a $RESULT goal difference.

The first step Bochum need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Bundesliga matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Leverkusen already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

Mohammed Tolba, Michael Esser, Moritz-Broni Kwarteng, Niclas Thiede will not be able to play for the hosts this Sunday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

With no injuries to speak of on the visiting side, the favourites will be heading into this fixture with full force.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.45, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
