There is plenty to talk about when these two meet, because TSG Hoffenheim have beaten Bayer 04 Leverkusen in each of the last two meetings, including a 1-0 win in their most recent clash early in the year — a contrast to the broader picture in which Leverkusen were usually the stronger side over many previous years. TSG Hoffenheim are back on track again after winning two in a row, especially the latest 3-0 win in the Europa League, but their season as a whole is still not settled. They have lost 4 of 6 league games and have conceded more than they have scored. Bayer 04 Leverkusen, meanwhile, are in red-hot form, on a five-match winning run and scoring heavily in many of those games. Their attack clearly looks more ready. But meetings at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena are often not games where Leverkusen can attack freely, because Hoffenheim know how to play against this opponent, and with the game expected to be tight, it should end with the hosts not letting the other side push so hard that it turns into a rout.
