Hamburg vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• Leverkusen lost 4-1 at home to Stuttgart on Saturday
• Hamburg have seen both teams score in eight of their last nine games
• Leverkusen have scored 12 goals in five visits to bottom-half teams, conceding in all five

Can Leverkusen bounce back?

Bayer Leverkusen started the second half of the campaign with a 4-1 thumping at home to Stuttgart on Saturday, their third defeat in five Bundesliga games. They head to Hamburg on Tuesday night, aiming to get their season back on track.

However, Hamburg have equipped itself well at home to stronger Bundesliga sides. The hosts are unbeaten in four home meetings with teams above them in the standings, winning two and drawing two.

All four of those matches have featured both teams scoring, as have eight of Hamburg’s last nine matches overall. With Leverkusen keeping one clean sheet in their last six Bundesliga matches, they should be vulnerable defensively.

However, the visitors have scored 12 times across five visits to bottom-half teams, while they’ve won 3-1 in two of their previous three Bundesliga trips. They can breach a Hamburg defence which has yet to keep a home clean sheet this term, so back both teams to score and an entertaining 2-2 draw.
