Bayer Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting tips
The Bundesliga weekend ends with an interesting game on the early Sunday evening. Number two Bayer Leverkusen takes on TSG Hoffenheim in their own stadium. Both teams played in the Europa League on Thursday.
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen played a European game on Thursday. On the closing day of the Europa League group stage, a victory over Slavia Prague was required to win the group. Before the match, we had to wait and see how much value Peter Bosz attached to that group win. Bosz put together a pretty strong team; he certainly did not exaggerate with the rotation. A fine coming for the day Leverkusen – where Daley Sinkgraven was allowed to play as a midfielder again – won 4-0 against the Czech champion.
Leverkusen’s good performance in Europe does not stand alone. Die Werkself is also doing very well in the Bundesliga. Leverkusen won 0-3 at FC Schake 04 last week. As the competitors lost points at the top, Bayer rose to a handsome second place in the ranking. For Sunday’s game, Bosz will have Lucas Alario again, although it remains to be seen whether the Argentinian is fit enough to start. Kerem Demirbay is not present due to a positive Covid-19 test. Sven Bender has to skip the match against Hoffenheim due to an injury.
Hoffenheim:
TSG Hoffenheim also represents Germany excellently abroad. The club from Sinsheim, like Leverkusen, plays in the Europa League. The TSG was already certain of the win in the group after five group matches. Thursday’s game, at home against KAA Gent, was one for statistics. Trainer Sebastian Hoeneß took the opportunity to give some permanent workers a rest. Partly due to a Doppelpack from the young Maximilian Beier, the Belgians were nevertheless easily beaten (4-1).
Now it is a matter for Hoffenheim to translate the good European form into the games in the Bundesliga. Hoeneß’s team is certainly not performing badly in this respect, but at the same time there is room for progression. After ten games, Hoffenheim is on twelve points, good for a place in the middle bracket. Hoeneß still has to deal with several injured defenders. However, Hoffe’s selection is quite wide, allowing him to send a representative rear guard into the field on Sunday.
