Bayer Leverkusen have a chance to open up a five-point gap when they travel to Hoffenheim in their next league game. Hoffenheim go into this game placed sixth while Leverkusen are top of the standings. It has been a shaky season so far, for Hoffenheim. In the run up to this game, they were dumped out of the DFB Pokal, after losing 1-0 to Borussia Dortmund. Prior to that loss, they had pulled a shock 3-2 win over third-placed Stuttgart. After two straight away matches, Hoffenheim will want to make their home return count. However, the last time they played at home, they ended up 3-1 losers to Eintracht Frankfurt. Their run in recent matches has been unstable, losing three of five. Hoffenheim have however failed to score just once in their 11 matches this season. They have no clean sheet in the last five matches though. Both sides have scored in nine of Hoffenheim’s 11 matches this season, and they have just one clean sheet.

Bayer Leverkusen have a two-point gap at the top of the Bundesliga standings. They seem like serious title contenders this season. Coming from a nine-game winning run is a further pointer to their ambitions this season. In their most recent match, they claimed a 5-2 away win over Sandhausen in the DFB Pokal. While it was another welcome result, the few clean sheets they’ve managed remains a major concern. The visitors have no clean sheet in the last four matches and they have five in 14 matches this season. Their scoring form is however only bested by second placed Bayern Munich. Leverkusen have scored 27 goals in their opening nine matches. In each of Leverkusen’s 14 matches this season, they’ve scored at least two goals. They are one of three unbeaten sides in the league after nine matches.
