THE PREDICTION
With Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich facing off in ‘Der Klassiker’ later in the day, this represents a massive opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen to potentially extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga. But expect sixth-placed Hoffenheim to trade blows with them, especially having found the net at least once in all nine of their Bundesliga fixtures so far this campaign. Xabi Alonso though, will no doubt have concocted a plan and his creative, exciting side should cause the Hoffenheim backline no shortage of problems over 90 minutes. Backing over 2.5 goals certainly looks the smart play for what would be the fifth straight Bundesliga fixture involving Hoffenheim. Bayer Leverkusen are set to compete in a league fixture this season that hasn’t seen over 2.5 goals scored.
TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
