Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After surviving Freiburg at Europa-Park Stadion before the international break, Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to clinch top position in the standings when they welcome Hoffenheim to their BayArena on Matchday 27. The league leaders are on the right track to win their first Bundesliga trophy and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Hoffenheim. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Florian Wirtz, who scored the opener for Germany in a 2-0 win over France, while all Arthur, Victor Boniface, and Exequiel Palacios remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back defeats to Eintracht Frankfurt (1-3) and Stuttgart (0-3), which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Xabi Alonso’s troops. John Anthony Brooks is banned for the match, while all Dennis Geiger, Grischa Promel, Mergim Berisha, and Marco John are out of contention with injuries.
