Oermann off target
Bochum are applying some decent pressure early on and Hecking's side win a corner after a Tapsoba error. The ball eventually comes to Tim Oermann, who swipes off target.

Worst start in Bundesliga history
Everything that could have gone wrong for Bochum this season pretty much has. After nine matchdays, they have managed to pick up a single point, the joint-lowest total since the Bundesliga's inauguration. If you also factor in goal difference, Bochum's total of -20 means they have had the worst start of any team in a German top-flight campaign.

Tale of the tape
Leverkusen have lost just one of their past 10 games against Bochum, and have won 31 to the Unabsteigbaren's 21 meetings overall. Still, only against Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach amongst active Bundesliga clubs do Bochum have more top-flight wins. Their previous triumph over Leverkusen, a 3-0 win on the final day of the 2022/23 season, secured their place in the Bundesliga for another season.
Difficult European night for Leverkusen
Die Werkself were on the wrong end of a disappointing defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday, losing 4-0. That was their first away loss in any competition in 18 months, another testament to their incredible form since the start of last season.
