Prediction

  • Xabi Alonso's record-breaking champions frittered away a two-goal lead at home to Leipzig before the international break to relinquish their unbeaten record after 35 games.
  • Hoffenheim flattered to deceive for long periods last season, but still managed to finish in seventh spot.
  • Hoffenheim have not kept a clean sheet in their last 21 home games, while Leverkusen have found the net in their last 18 away outings.
  • Leverkusen edged both meetings by the odd goal last term, and can return to winning ways with a comfortable win.
