Preview

Match preview

Hoffenheim welcome Bayer Leverkusen to the PreZero Arena for matchday seven of the Bundesliga season. The hosts enter the weekend in 14th place with six points from their opening six fixtures, having recorded two wins and four defeats. Leverkusen sit fourth in the standings with 13 points, just one point behind leaders Bayern Munich after compiling four wins and a draw from six matches.

Both sides come into this fixture on the back of midweek European victories. Hoffenheim defeated Lyon 3-0 on home soil, following a 2-1 away league win against Borussia Monchengladbach. Leverkusen have put together a five-match winning streak across all competitions, including an away win over OFI and a 4-3 domestic road victory at Mainz. Striker Patrik Schick has been central to Leverkusen's offensive output, providing six goals and two assists in league action.

Historical clashes between these clubs have regularly produced high-scoring affairs, averaging 3.8 goals per match over their last ten encounters. With Hoffenheim yet to record a clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season and Leverkusen conceding eight times in three away matches, this encounter sets up as another fast-paced exchange of chances.

Hoffenheim have scored in all six of their Bundesliga fixtures while failing to record a single clean sheet, conceding an average of 2.3 goals per game at home. Bayer Leverkusen have produced a matching trend on their travels, scoring eight goals and conceding eight across three away matches without keeping a clean sheet. The attacking potency of Patrik Schick alongside Hoffenheim's defensive instability creates strong scoring conditions for both clubs. Furthermore, 80 percent of the previous ten head-to-head meetings between these sides have witnessed both teams finding the net, reinforcing the likelihood of goals at both ends.
