Hoffenheim stand at the bottom of the table and their main goal this season is to avoid relegation. They brought few very good players and their fight to stay in the best German league start from the match against Bayer. They have very solid team and they deserve to be somewhere in the middle of the table, but they don’t have results. They lost at home only three matches this season, but on the other side they have managed to win only once upfront their supporters. In the previous match between these two teams, in the first half of the season, Bayer Leverkusen beat  Hoffenheim 2-1, despite the fact the visitors on that match had a lead from the beginning.

Bayer Leverkusen play solid this season and after the first half of Bundesliga they are standing at the 5th position. The title race for visitors is over because Bayern Munich have 19 points more than Bayer Leverkusen, but their main goal is to finish the season in the top 4 and play in the UEFA Champions League next season. They are playing very good this season, but they form isn’t constant and they lost many important points that all have already seen in their pocket. In the last 10 matches against Hoffenheim, visitors have managed to beat them 9 times, while home side won only one game.
