TSG Hoffenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• Hoffenheim could see their European hopes ended even if they win this game.
• Hoffenheim have not won a Bundesliga game in over two months (D3, L4).
• Leverkusen can mathematically secure a Champions League place with victory.
• Leverkusen scored six goals across their last three away games (W2, D1).

Hoffenheim’s dreams have turned to dust

A seven-game winless run ahead of this clash have effectively ended Hoffenheim’s hopes of breaking into the frame for European football. The manner of their last two failed games is of particular concern, as goals scored beyond the hour mark ultimately contributed to Hoffenheim’s downfall both times (D1, L1).

There are no home comforts for Hoffenheim, they are now winless in four straight home games (D2, L2) and that includes failing to score against rock-bottom and relegated Greuther Furth, a result which certainly raises questions ahead of this.

Win today, and then breathe

It has been a positive season for Leverkusen, as they can now secure their place in next season’s Champions League with one more win. The visitors will see this game as a must win as their final day clash is against Freiburg, their closest chaser in the top-four race.

Inspiring further confidence amongst the Leverkusen ranks will be their admirable 80% unbeaten rate when chalked up as pre-match betting favourites (W15, D5, L5) coupled with a run of just one defeat across their last eight domestic away games.

We predict that Leverkusen will win this game at a decent enough price given the circumstances. There could be value in backing in the ‘win and BTTS’ market, but we have saved such a selection for the correct score market with a 2-1 Leverkusen success.
