Bochum, Recent FormBochum will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 4-3 away win against Union Berlin. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Union Berlin managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Heiko Butscher will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 22 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of form at Vonovia Ruhrstadion for Bochum recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games. They've had an unusually high number of draws when playing at home this season, with 8 draws in 16 home league games.
On an individual basis, Philipp Hofmann will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Bochum's last 6 league games.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Bayer Leverkusen managed a remarkable 5-1 away win against Eintracht Frankfurt. In that game they recorded 45 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 17 shots on goal.
Manager Xabi Alonso will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 16 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 31 of their 32 games this season and recorded 15 clean sheets.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 32 games in a row.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Bayer Leverkusen, Florian Wirtz will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
