Bayer Leverkusen will welcome Hoffenheim to the BayArena on Saturday for a one-on-one Bundesliga clash, with kickoff slated for 14:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Leverkusen Looking to Extend their Unbeaten Run in Bundesliga
Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen are looking to extend their unbeaten run in Bundesliga after 26 rounds of fixtures.
With eight rounds of matches to go to the end of the Bundesliga season, and with a ten-point lead over Bayern Munich in second, Leverkusen will focus on retaining their form, composure, and confidence ahead of hosting Hoffenheim on Saturday.
A win will bring them closer to the title this season and will allow them to leverage any Bayern Munich slipups to build an even larger gap at the top of the Bundesliga table.
Hoffenheim Looking to End their Two-Match Losing Run
Hoffenheim have lost their last two Bundesliga matches, against Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1) and VfB Stuttgart (0-3). Conceding six goals in two matches highlights Hoffenheim’s core challenges ahead of visiting the free-scoring Leverkusen attack.
They have won twice in their last five outings in the Bundesliga, losing the other three. Their inconsistent form has seen their bid for a top-four fizzle out into a midtable standing, with Hoffenheim 8th on the table with 33 points.
The daunting trip to an all-conquering Leverkusen side represents an opportunity to make a statement by inflicting Alonso’s side with their first defeat of the season.
