Current form heavily favors Leverkusen. Their attacking firepower—Schick, Wirtz, and Victor Boniface (7 goals)—should exploit Bochum’s porous defense, which has conceded 22 goals in their last five league games as of November 2024. Leverkusen’s home advantage and superior squad depth further tilt the scales. I predict a comfortable Bayer Leverkusen victory, likely by a margin of two or more goals. Bochum’s limited offensive output suggests they’ll be outmatched.
