Hoffenheim
We find it in the eighth place in the Bundesliga and it can be said that it makes a fairly modest season.
He was still ahead of the stage at just two points in Dortmund, so the fight goes back to UCL.
In the previous round he drew on the field of Werder Bremen (1-1) at the first game in 2018.
Defense is a strong point, with an average underneath a goal in the home match.
Lost a single game in the previous 26 games played on the ground in the Bundesliga.
Kobel and Demirbay are absent from the host camp.
The probable team (3-5-2): Baumann – Bicakcic, Vogt, B. Hubner – Kaderabek, Zuber – Grillitsch, Nad. Amiri, Geiger – Uth, Gnabry.
Bayer Leverkusen
It does a good season and looks much better than in the past years. He is now ranked fifth in the Bundesliga, only two seconds in second.
He comes after a home defeat with Bayern Munich, the first after 12 stages.
He has a series of six moves in the championship without defeat.
The attack is the strong point, the third best in the competition.
Yurchenko will miss you. Other flock problems are not.
The probable team (3-4-3): Leno – Tah, S. Bender, Wendell – Henrichs, L. Bender, Aranguiz, Bailey – Havertz, Alario, Volland.
Direct meetings
Bayer clearly dominates the balance of direct confrontations, but it has to be said that lately Hoffe was better and did not lose four games.
In the tour we witnessed a spectacular draw (2-2).
My tip for Hoffenheim vs Bayer Leverkusen
I am waiting for a good game made by the host team, which I do not see to lose.
We have already shown how well Hoffe is doing in his own home, where he has lost in the last 26 games in the Bundesliga.
Also, Hoffe has not lost in the previous four direct confrontations. The tour scored twice on the opponent’s court.
Hoffe has an average under a home win. It will be difficult for Bayer.
