Only one objective left: the Bundesliga. After being eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, who are first in the league with a six-point lead, will try to put pressure on Kompany’s team by beating Bochum in the Friday night game, as some of their results have left the door open for a comeback.
Difficult, but not impossible, especially since the Bavarians will play against Inter in the first weeks of April. So they will be fundamentally focusing their energies on the two matches against Inzaghi’s team. And, in all this, we could undoubtedly include Bayer, who have had a soft start to the championship and, in which, the home field factor, going by the latest results in the matches between these two teams, has almost always been decisive.
Very few away victories. One, that of Bayer last year, in the last five years. And, in the first leg, it ended in a draw. So all the more reason for Xabi Alonso’s team to take the three points and try to stay in the fight to repeat in the top German league. Let’s just say it’s a lot like a final: without three points it’s difficult to stay in the running.

The prediction
Bayer Leverkusen victorious. Even if the match after the break always gives cause for concern. This will not be the case: the gap on the field is too clear and is also reflected in the standings. Xabi Alonso’s men – in a match with at least three goals overall – will take the three points.
