What speaks for Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim in our betting tips?
Since no games have been played yet, we look back at last season in the Leverkusen - Hoffenheim betting tip. Bayer 04 kept the squad together. That's why the championship was followed by second place. Now, however, many players (Wirtz, Frimpong, Hradecky, Xhaka, etc.) have left the club. It is doubtful whether all the cogs are meshing so early on in the season. Last season there were 19 wins, twelve draws and three defeats. In the process, 72:43 goals were scored. At home, our soccer tips today show ten wins, four draws and three defeats. The score here is 36:22.Interim conclusion on Bayer 04 Leverkusen: The championship under Xabi Alonso was followed by second place. Now Erik ten Hag has taken over the helm. However, he has to work with a team that has changed in many positions. Will the Werkself attack the top again?

That's how Leverkusen played last time!
Many departures have unsettled the rest of the team. The new coach has also expressed his desire to bring in new players on several occasions. This could further demotivate the remaining players. It is difficult to say what level Bayer 04 Leverkusen are at. The start under ten Hag really went down the drain with a 1:5 defeat at Flamengo U20, followed by a 2:0 over VfL Bochum, a 2:1 against Fortuna Sittard and a 3:0 against FC Pisa. The next endurance test against Chelsea FC was lost 2-0. On the other hand, the Werkself beat Sonnenhof Großaspach 4:0 in the DFB Cup. Schick, Arthur, Kofane and Grimaldo scored the goals.

How good is Hoffenheim's current form?
Of course, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim could not be satisfied with 15th place in the previous season. Three points and a few goals less and they would have been relegated.

Last season, according to the Leverkusen - Hoffenheim betting tip, it was enough for seven trebles, eleven draws and 16 defeats. In the process, 46:68 goals were scored. According to our football predictions, there were only three wins, six draws and eight defeats away from home. Here 21:32 goals are listed. The Kraichgau team will not leave it at that in 25/26.
