Hoffenheim - Bayer Leverkusen betting tips and odds

Though Hoffenheim definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Bayer Leverkusen are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Team from Leverkusen are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.41 on them winning.

The hosts are coming off from a Bochum loss. They did not have the best of starts to the game and failed in their attempts to get back into the game after going down early on.

We witnessed a rather disheartening defeat for Bayer Leverkusen at Augsburg in the last round. They lost the game in the second half, crushing their chances of winning 3 points in what ended up being a tough 1:0 away defeat.

The first step Hoffenheim need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Team from Leverkusen are still reeling from the previous time they played against Hoffenheim and lost to a hefty goal difference. They may be considered the favourites if the 2.41 odds for an away win are to be believed, but they’re the away team this time, which puts them at a bigger disadvantage.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Pavel Kadeřábek, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Robert Skov, Grischa Prömel, Kevin Vogt are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Andrey Lunev, Charles Aránguiz, Patrik Schick will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour Bayer Leverkusen, though.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.67 odds offered at bet365.
