Hoffenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction

Hoffenheim Form

In the previous three matches, Hoffenheim lost 2-3 against Besiktas, beat Borussia Moenchengladbach by 1-2 and won 3-0 against Lyon. Hoffenheim won three of their previous six matches at SNP Arena in the Bundesliga. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring 12 goals to 11 against.

Dreaming of the Bundesliga title, Hoffenheim are currently too far behind budget, so to speak, to seriously stake a claim at first place.

Bayer Leverkusen Form

In their last three matches, Bayer Leverkusen first beat Lech Poznan 0-4, then Freiburg by 2-1 and finally OFI Crete by 0-2. Bayer Leverkusen managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Bundesliga away matches, in which they scored 12 while also conceding 12 times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Standards are high at a club like Bayer Leverkusen and as such the season is so far going according to plan.

The two teams rate more or less equal at the bookies, but in current form, and with Hoffenheim looking a little out of sorts, Bayer Leverkusen no doubt offers the value bet here.

Hoffenheim fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last one games against teams inside the top six. They were on target two times in these matches, but also let in three goals. Hoffenheim are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording two wins and four defeats in the Bundesliga. Bayer Leverkusen have a record of four wins, one draw and one defeat in the Bundesliga.
