1899 Hoffenheim vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen Prediction: Bayer Form is a worry

1899 Hoffenheim and Bayer 04 Leverkusen have been in bad form in recent matches. Hoffenheim are heading down into the relegation zone after a poor run of games and Bayern Leverkusen are not making any progress either, as they have lost their last 2 Bundesliga matches. This match presents a huge opportunity for either side to improve their current position on the table and neither of these sides can afford to lose. Who will get a breakthrough as Hoffenheim welcomes Bayer Leverkusen to the PreZero Arena?.

1899 Hoffenheim is one of the poorest teams in the division. They are yet to record a win in their last 9 matches in the Bundesliga. Infact, in their last 5 matches, they had 4 losses and 1 draw. 

Stats shows, Hoffenheim is on a 3 match losing streak and have no wins in 6 matches in all competitions. Hoffenheim is also without a clean sheet in 17 matches. They have also seen over 2.5 goals scored in 10/10 matches.

Hoffenheim is only 2 places above the relegation zone. They are currently 14th on the table, with 19 points from 19 matches. They have 5 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses and a goal ratio of 28:36.

1899 Hoffenheim is ranked 14th on the home record. In 10 home matches, Hoffenheim has 11 points, from 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats and with a goal aggregate of 14:18.

Bayer Leverkusen is considered one of the top teams in the Bundesliga but they have suffered 2 defeats in their last 2 matches. Prior to that, they were on a 5 match win streak. Which is why Bayer Leverkusen is backed to getting back to winning ways against Hoffenheim here. 

In the last 5 matches in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen have 2 losses and 3 wins.

Also, in ⅘ matches, Bayer Leverkusen has seen less than 2.5 goals scored and Bayer Leverkusen has been first to score in 5/7 matches. In ⅘ matches played by Bayer Leverkusen, more than 4.5 cards have been shown and in ⅚ matches, less than 10.5 corners have been played. 

According to the Head to Head record, Hoffenheim and Bayer Leverkusen have played 20 times against each other. Bayer Leverkusen have 8 wins while Hoffenheim have 7 wins and 5 matches ended in a draw. 

Bayer Leverkusen are without a clean sheet in 3 matches against Hoffenheim and in ⅚ matches, more than 2.5 goals have been scored.

The bookmakers tend to lean to a Bayer Leverkusen win here. But I am refraining from accepting that considering that they have just lost 2 matches in a row. With the cause of the slip yet unknown, it's difficult to decide which way they will go next, either a win or another loss. 

Hoffenheim are poor all through and their chances of pulling off a win here is slim but the away team might just have lost their focus in the right time for the Hoffenheim team to capitalize.

However, I predict an open game with goals from both teams to say the least.
