On Saturday afternoon, Bayer Leverkusen will attempt to arrest an alarming recent slide in the Bundesliga, as Die Werkself welcome Bochum to the BayArena.
Bayer Leverkusen’s highly positive start to their Bundesliga campaign now seems a distant memory after a poor run of league form of late in the German top-flight.

A 1-1 draw at Hertha Berlin before the international break now means that Gerardo Seoane’s side has failed to win any of their previous four games in the German top-flight. They have also won just one of their last seven matches in all competitions.
Leverkusen’s defensive displays have been an issue in recent Bundesliga games, as they have now conceded at least two goals in three of their previous four matches in the German top-flight.
Their home form has been rather unconvincing as well, as Bayer head into this clash on the back of three defeats in their last four matches in the German top-flight.
Bochum have made a solid if unspectacular start to life back in the Bundesliga.
The visitors are currently 12th place in the table, four points clear of the relegation play-off spot and a further point above the automatic relegation berth.
After a poor start to their league campaign, Thomas Reis’ team has found their feet of late, as the visitors have now won three of their last four matches in the Bundesliga.
Last time out, Bochum defeated Hoffenheim 2-0. The game saw the visitors keep a third clean sheet in four outings in the German top-flight.
Bochum have been poor on their travels this season in the Bundesliga, as they have lost five of their previous six away games in the German top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Bayer Leverkusen will bounce back to winning ways in the Bundesliga by recording a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
