Erik ten Hag's first Bundesliga game as Bayer Leverkusen manager is a home encounter against a Hoffenheim side that narrowly avoided relegation last season. In ten Hag's first competitive fixtures Leverkusen cruised to a 4-0 DFB Pokal Cup victory over Grossapach, thanks to goals from Patrik Schick, Arthur, Christian Kofane and Alex Grimaldo. Saturday's game will represent a much tougher challegem but ten Hag will be confident that Leverkusen can get their league campaign off to a winning start.
Hoffenheim finshed last season just three points above the relegation zone, picking up just one win from their final ten games. Like Leverkusen, they also started the new season with a 4-0 cup victory, as they comfortably got through a potentially tricky tie at Rostock. However, Christian Ilzer's side will need to produce a huge upturn in performance if they are get anything from Saturday's game.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim Prediction
This looks like a home banker for Leverkusen. They may have lost a few key players over the summer (as well as head coach Xavi Alonso), but this is a still a top class team full of attacking talent. In contrast, we expect Hoffenheim to endure another season of struggle and it would be no suprise to see them finish in the bottom three. Not only are we tipping Leverkusen to win, we are also predicting them to score plenty of goals in the process. Our prediction for Bayer Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim is: Leverkusen to win and over 3.5 goals.
