THE PREDICTION
Bayer Leverkusen hit the dizzy heights of second place in the Bundesliga for the first time in three years last weekend courtesy of a 3-0 win at Schalke, before following that up with another victory in the Europa League on Thursday. Overall their form in 2020 has been very good, with just two defeats in their 12 home league matches this year. Hoffenheim have had the upper hand in this fixture over recent years, Leverkusen winning just one of the last nine meetings between the two sides, but it is current form that matters more and on that basis, the free-scoring Werkself have to be fancied to bag another three points.
