Hoffenheim - Bayer Leverkusen betting tips and odds

Hoffenheim will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Bayer Leverkusen. The price of 3.00 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

2.40 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Bayer Leverkusen are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

Hoffenheim are coming on the back of a narrow 2:1 defeat from their previous away game at Augsburg . Though the predictions favoured them slightly, they ended up playing catch-up throughout the game.

Leverkusen are coming off of a close 2:1 victory against Schalke 04. Last round saw them grab an early lead and not let up until the very end – an effective strategy, if a bit dull for the fans at their home stadium.

Hoffenheim have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Bundesliga matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Maintaining their defences has been a bit of a struggle for Team from Leverkusen lately. They ended up conceding 5 goals over the 3 most recent matches alone, leaving many fans disappointed.

A lot of teams would be happy with Bayer Leverkusen current position on the table. With the end of the season in sight, they are heading for the Europa League if they maintain the 6th spot on the table. Still, plenty of time to move further up.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Team from Leverkusen already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Konstantinos Stafylidis, Benjamin Hübner, Kevin Akpoguma, Dennis Geiger are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Julian Baumgartlinger, Exequiel Palacios, Santiago Arias, Timothy Fosu-Mensah will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Leverkusen, though.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.60 at Betway.
