The previous two meetings between those teams ended 2-2 and 4-2 so goals can be expected in this matchup.

Bayer Leverkusen not to lose and Total goals over 2.5

Leverkusen players are unlikely to want to repeat their Bundesliga 2018/19 season “record” when they kicked off a season with three consecutive competitive defeats.

Meanwhile, in 8 of the previous ten matches between Bayer and Hoffenheim, more than 2.5 goals were scored.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Bayer Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim

Bayer Leverkusen had never started a new campaign so badly since they were promoted to the Bundesliga in 1979.

Last week Gerardo Seoane’s side recorded their second loss in the league, as they lost 2:1 to Augsburg.

This is the first time in the club’s history that they’ve opened a new campaign with three consecutive competitive defeats, knocked out of the German cup, losing to Borussia Dortmund and Augsburg.

On the other hand, after falling to Borussia M’Gladbach on the Bundesliga’s opening day, Hoffenheim roared back from two goals down to beat Bochum 3-2 and pick up their first win in the new campaign.

Manager Andre Breitenreiter celebrated a successful home start, earning his first points with Hoffenheim.

However, Breitenreiter is yet to win against Bayer Leverkusen, as his seven personal meetings with them with three different teams were unsuccessful (D4, L3).
