TSG Hoffenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

Leverkusen can extend winning run at Hoffenheim

Bayer Leverkusen have a clear edge over Hoffenheim in the league table and they should be backed to pick up where they left off when they visit WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena on Sunday.

They are fourth in the league, ten places and seven points above Hoffenheim, with four wins, one draw and one loss from their six games. The hosts are 14th having won two and lost four.

Bayer Leverkusen beat SC Freiburg 2-1 last weekend to keep up their recent winning trend. Ibrahim Maza and Patrik Schick scored for Leverkusen, who have won four of the five games in which they’ve scored first this season (80%).

The hosts look frail at the back. Hoffenheim have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 11 home games in the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen come into this game in excellent form, having won four of their last five Bundesliga matches. They are currently on a three-match winning streak. In contrast, Hoffenheim have lost five of their last seven games.

Bayer Leverkusen are in fine scoring form, having netted in 22 of their last 23 league games. They have scored three or more goals twice in their six Bundesliga matches this season, including a 6-3 victory over Wolfsburg in April.

A 2-0 win for Bayer Leverkusen looks a decent correct-score option.
