Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
PreZero Arena will host Saturday’s Bundesliga game between Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen, the two teams who defeated Stuttgart and Freiburg respectively at the weekend. Xabi Alonso is doing a great job with the BayArena outfit, with his men leading the chase for the Bundesliga trophy and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. Both Arthur and Ayman Aourir are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team. Pellegrino
Matarazzo’s troops, on the other hand, have been struggling at home ground this term, with the team already suffering three defeats in the process and given the number of absentees in the home team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the league leaders. Hoffenheim’s injury list includes Pavel Kaderabek, Andrej Kramaric, Stanley Nsoki, Bambase Conte, Dennis Geiger, Ozan Kabak, Marco John, and Florian Grillitsch.
Highlighted Player (Granit Xhaka):
Granit Xhaka is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most talented central midfielders at the moment and he is on the radar of quite a few high-profile sides. Just two seasons at FC Basel proved enough to attract interest from Borussia M’gladbach, who secured his signature in the summer of 2012.
The Switzerland international had a slow start to his career in Germany, causing many pundits to start doubting his credentials, but he eventually turn things around to show he is more than capable of playing at the highest level. Acting as a deep-lying playmaker, Xhaka impressed fans and pundits alike with his performances in Bundesliga and European competitions, and he even managed to score a couple of important goals in the process.
Despite his fragile age, the highly regarded footballer has been a key member of the Switzerland national team for quite some time now, scoring 6 goals in his first 40 caps to establish himself as a real leader of the Rossocrociati. The 2014 World Cup, where he scored one goal in four starts, should prove just the first of many major tournaments to come.
