Bayer Leverkusen, currently in strong form, have been a dominant force this season, boasting impressive offensive statistics. With an average of 2.2 goals per match and a possession rate of 57.48%, they are expected to control the game against Bochum. Leverkusen's ability to score, highlighted by Patrik Schick's 16 goals, makes them formidable opponents.
Bochum, on the other hand, have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2 goals per match. Their possession rate of 43.6% suggests they may find it challenging to maintain control against Leverkusen's aggressive play. However, Bochum's resilience in duels, with a successful rate of 98.36, could be a key factor in disrupting Leverkusen's rhythm.
Head-to-head statistics favor Leverkusen, who have consistently outperformed Bochum in recent encounters. Tactically, Leverkusen's high pressing and quick transitions are likely to exploit Bochum's defensive vulnerabilities, while Bochum may rely on counter-attacks to capitalize on any defensive lapses from Leverkusen.
