It is very unlikely that Leverkusen will lose points when facing Bochum, especially since the opponent they are facing is a team that is at the bottom of the table and this match is played at home as you said. In addition, Leverkusen has not given up on continuing to defend the Bundesliga title even though it is difficult, but Xabi Alonso is not the type to give up easily before the season ends.
Because even though they are currently 6 points behind Bayern Munich but with 8 matches left anything can happen, in football there are always unexpected surprises. Moreover, Bayern Munich has a concentration on the UCL league while Leverkusen does not. Of course this indirectly has a big impact on the Munich squad, especially if Kompany does not maintain the fitness of the players by rotating the players, the potential for losing points is very large.
What Leverkusen need do is stay focused and continue in winning their own games, and not wait on Bayern Munich to lose points, Being on top of the league table even carries a pressure, especially when the league is nearing end, because of this reason, Bayern could drop off some points. But just that Bayer Leverkusen missed it when they were expected to bounce back and now it's no longer an easy stuff seeing only eight games remaining and they're 6 points behind Bayern Munich, even though Bayern loses two games there's no guarantee that Leverkusen won't draw 1or lose 1.
Exactly that is the point. Xabi Alonso should just try and be winning there games in the league and keep clean sheets. But I notice like Bayer Leverkusen as giving hope for winning the Bundesliga title, because Munich as be better then them this season and that is why they are not really doing well anymore, but anytime they are playing at home they usually do well to win at home to make the fans happy. Leverkusen don't have any trophy to achieve this season anymore. in my opinion I don't think even Leverkusen continue to be winning there games in the league they can't catch bayern Munich in the league table anymore. if Leverkusen are winning games that is how bayern Munich will be winning there games and continue giving Leverkusen gaps in the league table.
Leverkusen should just try and continue maintaining there position, so that they can qualify to ucl next season and try to win the trophy next season. Last season Leverkusen as do there best and achieve the league title,and that is a good reward.so this season even they lose is not a shameful things. Because if you notice in all the meetings Munich and Leverkusen meet this season. he as show that bayern Munich are better then them by far this season. Xabi Alonso as do all is best this season to get trophy but unfortunately they fail to achieve any. Next season am sure he will do is best to get another title for the club if Real Madrid have not took him as manager next season.
