Bayer Leverkusen vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

• Bayer Leverkusen have won eight home games in a row
• There have been 3+ goals in Hoffenheim’s last five outings
• Five of Bayer’s last seven matches have contained at least three goals

Bayer in formidable form

If Bayer Leverkusen had not drawn so many games, they would be looking at back-to-back titles, because it certainly is not defeats that are holding them back.

Xabi Alonso’s side have lost only once in the league this season, picking up 12 wins from 19 attempts, while that loss came way back in August.

At home, they have won eight matches in a row and scored 24 goals during that period, while five of their last seven outings at all venues have featured at least three goals.

Hoffenheim up against it

That means Hoffenheim are in for a tough afternoon, especially when factoring in they have won just two of their last 13 outings, losing seven times and drawing four.

Such form leaves them dangling precariously above the Bundesliga relegation zone, and it is a serious concern that they have registered a measly one win from nine attempts.

They did pick up a 4-3 UEFA Europa League success at Anderlecht in midweek, the fifth time in seven away trips that there have been 3+ goals, but that streak includes hammerings at Bayern Munich (5-0) and Wolfsburg (3-0).

I predict that Bayer Leverkusen will win this game with 3+ goals across the 90 minutes, selecting 3-1 to Bayer as my correct score prediction.
