Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After suffering a heavy 5-2 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend, Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Hoffenheim at BayArena on Matchday 16. Leverkusen are on a four-game winning run at home in all competitions, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Patrick Schick, who scored a brace in the loss to die Adler, whilst all Solanilla, Bakker, Baumgartlinger, and Fosu-Mensah are out of contention with injuries.
Defender Jeremie Frimpong is banned for the match. Hoffenheim, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win. Given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All John, Geiger, Grillitsch, Bruun Larsen, Skov, and Bicakcic should miss out for the visiting team.
