Unspectacular victory against Bochum

From 15th to eighth place - in just five games. Bayer continues to climb up the Bundesliga table as its winning streak continued with a 2-0 victory over VfL Bochum. However, it is also a fact that the three-goal win over the relegation candidate was more of a work victory than a gala.

In contrast to the fall, however, it must also be noted that the team plays a game down more cleverly, but unfortunately not until the end. Against Gladbach, we led 3:0 and didn't finish the game confidently, and it could have been close again against Bochum.

At the end of the first half of the season, Leverkusen is now in eighth place and has its sights back on the international places. However, there is a gap at the top, as seventh place is five points away. This means that the disastrous start has been made up for quite well. However, it is important to stay on track and score more points on Sunday against Dortmund, which has also been unconvincing recently.
