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.

Expert Betting Tips

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.
