How to Watch Bochum vs. Bayer Leverkusen: Stream Men’s Soccer Friendlies Live, TV Channel

Erik ten Hag is hoping to recover from an embarrassing start as Bayer Leverkusen boss when his side face Bochum in a pre-season friendly on Sunday.

Bayer Leverkusen will have a swift recovery in mind as it faces fellow German outfit Bochum in a pre-season friendly on Sunday, having recently marked an unenviable debut under new manager Erik ten Hag. The 2024 Bundesliga champions recently returned from a summer training camp in Brazil, where they got their summer underway with a humiliating friendly result against Flamengo’s under-20s. Bochum, on the other hand, has been highly active since being relegated from Germany’s top flight at the end of last season and is undefeated in five pre-season fixtures, hoping to add its fourth win of the summer schedule at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion.

It was a little more than one year ago that Leverkusen triumphed 5-0 in a trip to this venue, though Bochum restored some pride with a 1-1 draw the last time it hosted this fixture in November.

That being said, those results were when club icon Xabi Alonso was at the helm, with Ten Hag now looking to stamp his own footprint on the team.

And the former Manchester United boss certainly did that in Brazil, though not in the fashion he would have wanted after a 5-1 demolition at the hands of a Flamengo youth team:

That result may not have been so embarrassing were it not for the fact Leverkusen’s squad included a number of first-team regulars, including the likes of Victor Boniface, Edmund Tapsoba, Alex Grimaldo, Patrick Schick and Granit Xhaka.

The only way is up against Bochum, who has already defeated Young Boys, Wuppetal and Waldhof this summer but is now looking to bank the biggest result of its pre-season prep.
