In this season’s 26 games, they conceded the first goal 5 times but managed to come back in 4 of those instances.
Bayer 04 Bayer Leverkusen enters this match motivated after their dramatic 3-4 win against Stuttgart, where goals were netted by Jeremie Frimpong, Piero Hincapié, Patrik Schick, and an own goal by Angelo Stiller. Managing coach Xabi Alonso typically employs a 3-4-3 formation, emphasising an aggressive offensive strategy.

Team analysis: Bochum
The visiting side currently occupies 17th place in the standings with 18 points accrued from 4 wins, 6 draws, and 16 losses. Their previous match saw them secure a surprising 3-2 victory against FC Bayern Munich, but they followed it up with a disappointing home defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt (1-3).

Conversely, their home performances have been stronger, with a tally of 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses, scoring 24 goals and allowing 22. Their recent victory against Preußen Münster (4-2) may provide a much-needed boost.

BOCHUM enters this encounter following a 1-3 loss to SG Eintracht Frankfurt, with their only goal coming from Gerrit Holtmann.
