Bayer Levekusen vs Hoffenheim 15.12.2021

Bayer Leverkusen were left with a bitter taste in the mouth after racing to a 2-0 lead within the opening 22 minutes at Frankfurt at the weekend, only for the hosts to turn the game completely around with 5 unanswered goals. The defeat did not affect their position on the table as they remain in 3rd but they will be out to keep the visitors at arm’s length when they host them on Wednesday.

Hoffenheim on their part made the most of that slip up by winning their match at Freiburg 2-1 to narrow the deficit between them to just a point coming into this game.

Leverkusen have been quick off the blocks quite a lot this season and with Hoffenheim’s record on the road looking a bit shaky, we expect them to jump on them from the start and we fancy them to lead 1-0 at the break.
