Hoffenheim Prediction
Hoffenheim may occupy 9th place on the Bundesliga ladder but they’re just four points adrift of their opponents, Bayer Leverkusen heading into this Friday night clash. The hosts have produced a fairly solid run of form in recent weeks as they’ve suffered just one defeat out of their last eight matches overall, which was a 3-2 loss away at 5th placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
Overall form at home this season has also been fairly reliable for this Hoffenheim outfit as the hosts have lost just three matches at their PreZero Arena all season to date amidst an overall record of 5-5-3 21/14 with just one loss from their last nine matches on home turf.
Hoffenheim also look a fairly solid bet to hit the back of the net too as the hosts have scored in 12 of their 13 home matches to date, and with midfielder Demirbay (5 goals) along with various goalscoring options from a talented forward line consisting of Kramaric (13 goals), Belfodil (8 goals), Joelinton (7 goals), Nelson (6 goals) and Szalai (4 goals), they should score again on Friday night.
- Hoffenheim have suffered just one defeat out of their last eight matches overall
- Hoffenheim have scored in 12 of their 13 home matches to date
- Bayer Leverkusen have won 6 of their last 8 matches overall in the Bundesliga
Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
6th placed Bayer Leverkusen suffered defeat last time out in the Bundesliga when they went down to a 3-1 loss at home to Werder Bremen, so the visitors will be keen to bounce back with something from their trip to Hoffenheim on Friday night.
Leverkusen have won six of their eight matches overall in the Bundesliga in recent weeks which includes collecting wins on the road at Schalke 04, Wolfsburg, Mainz 05 and Hannover amidst an overall away record of 6-2-5 26/21, but they’ve also been prone to a few defeats on their travels this season too.
Three defeats within their last eight away matches indicate their possible vulnerability away from their BayArena, as well as keeping just two clean sheets from their 13 away matches to date which were achieved at Freiburg in a 0-0 draw and a 3-0 win at Wolfsburg.
Midfielder Bellarabi (5 goals) as well as forwards Volland (11 goals), Bailey (5 goals) and Brandt (4 goals) look the most likely to score for the visitors here on Friday evening as Bayer Leverkusen look to reduce the four point gap on 5th placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
Betting Tips Verdict
There have been a few draws for the hosts Hoffenheim while Bayer Leverkusen are occasionally susceptible on the road. The value lies with the draw here.
