Bayer Leverkusen
The Bundesliga will please on Saturday with a lot of exciting confrontations, including the game between Hoffenheim and Bayer. Exclusive prediction for this event prepared by Dailysports experts.
Hoffenheim
“Blue and white” not easy to start this season, the first official game the team played in the German Cup, where only in a penalty shootout managed to pass Würzburger Kickers from the regional league.
The club won its opening Bundesliga game at home against newcomer Holstein Kiel with a score of 3:2, and in the second game there was an away defeat from Eintracht with a score of 1-3. Hoffenheim will try their hand at the Europa League this year, as they finished seventh last season. Many are used to the fact that the team plays spectacularly, however, it does not always bring the desired result.
Bayer
“Pharmacists” this season have already taken one trophy, when only in a penalty shootout defeated Stuttgart, although before that equalized the score in the end - 2:2. In the first round, Bayer, in typical fashion, defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach away - 3:2, scoring the decisive goal on 90+11 minutes.
In the last match, the team led at home against Leipzig with a score of 2:0, but did not hold the advantage, losing in the end 2:3. The defense of the title in the German Cup, the club began with an away victory over modest Jena - 1:0. There are now high expectations from Bayer, given last season's fantastic season, although it will be incredibly difficult to repeat such success.
