Team News

Hoffenheim
Leverkusen
  • Dennis Geiger has problems with his adductors, while Andrej Kramaric is nearing a return from a muscle injury.
  • Marco John has suffered an ACL injury, while Stanley Nsoki has a patella injury.
  • Ayman Aourir has a knee injury, while Patrik Schick is out for a few weeks with a calf injury.
  • Arthur will be out for several weeks after suffering a thigh injury while on international duty with the Brazil Olympic team.

Prediction

  • Hoffenheim have won a club record five games in a row on their travels, but have been distinctly average on home soil with three defeats out of four already.
  • Table toppers Leverkusen have scored at least twice in all their nine games in a club record start to the season under Xabi Alonso.
  • On average, the last 12 meetings between the two have seen 3.7 goals per game, but there's also been a couple of goalless draws in those dozen along the way.
  • Goals should be expected at both ends in a comfortable away win.
