Bundesliga Odds: Leverkusen vs. Bochum prediction, pick, how to ... (ClutchPoints)

Check out our odds series and go ahead to see our Leverkusen-Bochum pick and prediction for this Bundesliga clash.

Dating back to their previous fixtures, Leverkusen has always been ahead of them, and that trend should continue in this game. In the Bundesliga, their last victory in this head-to-head match-up was way back in 2008. If Bochum keeps faith with its 4-3-3 formation, Danilo Soares, Keven Schlotterbeck, Ivan Ordets, and Saidy Janko should be locked in and provide Bochum the defensive wall it aspires. The visiting team sits at the 15th spot of the table and hopes to get rejuvenated by sealing its second win of the year and sixth victory of the season. Their recent match-ups were in the 2021-2022 season, where Leverkusen snatched a 1-0 win and a scoreless draw. Philipp Forster is the leading chance-maker of the team, who has produced four assists so far. In those series of games, Leverkusen has notched eight victories, including four straight wins in the Bundesliga. They currently face a relegation scare as they are only ahead of Augsburg, Hertha, and Schalke 04 by a few points. 28 goals and 21 assists seem to be decent numbers for this squad, but they should look to improve their 11.9 total shots and 3.8 corners per game. A win for Leverkusen here may propel them to eighth place, which is good enough to catch up to the top four spots of the Bundesliga to secure a desired spot for next season’s Champions League. Xabi Alonso’s side is currently ninth in the Bundesliga standings, with 21 points obtained from six wins, three draws, and seven defeats. This fixture will feature the game between hosts Bayer 04 Leverkusen (6-3-7) and the visiting Vfl Bochum (5-1-10).

Florian Wirtz vs. Jude Bellingham: Battle of the teens as Bayer ... (Bundesliga.com - official website)

It's time for teenaged royalty to step forth as young Bayer Leverkusen prince Florian Wirtz faces off against the imperial Jude Bellingham of Borussia ...

The former Birmingham City player also leads the division in terms of duels contested (468) and won (267), highlighting his essential presence to the Black-and-Yellow cause. But who will prevail when the Bundesliga’s young footballing royalty goes head to head? [Die Werkself](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/german-soccer-dictionary-meaning-definition-translation-term-phrase-2773-1262) as it has for the player himself. It felt like the perfect evening, to be fair!” the midfielder declared. [Leverkusen](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/clubs/bayer-04-leverkusen) host confident [Dortmund](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/clubs/borussia-dortmund) at the BayArena on Sunday, there will be gifted, teenaged tricksters all over the illuminated park. What he has done so far in Germany is astounding. "He's a player who is different: it's not always about making the most brilliant move, it's about making the best and the smartest. "[During my recovery] I was primarily able to bring my physical condition, my muscles, up to the next level," he explained. "I think about what more I could have done, always," he acknowledged. I just wanted to be back with my friends again," Wirtz told his club's official website about the things that make him tick, and why his spell away from the game hurt so much. In 2021/22, he had a direct hand in 17 goals in 24 games, and his long injury layoff didn't prevent him from extending his contract until June 2027. That wouldn't do him or us justice."

[Bellingham](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/player/jude-bellingham) should slot straight back into central midfield, with Emre Can dropping to the bench, while Mats Hummels should return at centre-back after being rested on Wednesday. They followed up the [3-2 success in Gladbach](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/borussia-monchengladbach-bayer-leverkusen-live-team-news-match-stats-thuram-22298) at the weekend with a [2-0 triumph over Bochum](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/bayer-leverkusen-bochum-live-team-news-match-stats-alonso-diaby-asano-hincapie-22348) on Wednesday, a result that took their winning sequence to five consecutive games and lifted Die Werkself to eighth, their [highest league position](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/table) so far in 2022/23.

Amine Adli, who impressed against Gladbach, is vying for a spot in attack alongside [Moussa Diaby](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/player/moussa-diaby), although Adam Hlozek did his cause no harm by finding the net against Bochum. Out: Kamara (knee), Meunier (muscular), Morey (match fitness) The return to action of [Florian Wirtz](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/player/florian-wirtz) has been a boon, the 19-year-old making his first competitive start in almost a year against Bochum, and he carried on where he left off by providing an assist.
