THE LOWDOWN
BAYER LEVERKUSEN
Bayer Leverkusen fans were afforded the best news possible across the international break. This being that head coach Xabi Alonso has committed to staying at the club next season. The former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder has led Leverkusen to top spot in the Bundesliga with a ten-point cushion over reigning champions Bayern, the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal and the quarter-finals of the Europa League. A dream season, that is all set for a fairytale ending.
HOFFENHEIM
Two consecutive league defeats leading into the break for Hoffenheim looks like consigning them to mid-table obscurity for the rest of the season. Whilst they are in eighth-place as it stands, seven points currently separate them from the top six, a tall order to overcome at this stage in the campaign, so the key for head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo will be keeping motivation up within his squad.

UNAVAILABLE: Berisha (Injured), Brooks (Suspended), John (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
Whilst the Bundesliga can be notorious for throwing up the unexpected, it’s very hard to see Hoffenheim being able to stop the Bayer Leverkusen runaway train. The home side just keep on winning and boosted by the Xabi Alonso news this week, should be chomping at the bit to get back out onto the pitch. A dominant performance from Leverkusen is likely, so back them to wind up gaining yet another three points.
