Bayer Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Xabi Alonso’s men to host Hoffenheim in the next Bundesliga fixture.

Bayer Leverkusen will be locking horns with Hoffenheim in their upcoming Bundesliga 2024-25 home fixture on February 2. Xabi Alonso’s men are in the second spot in the league table. They are on a good run and will be looking to continue. Hoffenheim are in the 15th spot and are close to the relegation zone.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen are coming in with a win in their last fixture which was against Sparta Praha in the UEFA Champions League. Xabi Alonso will be looking to extend his team’s winning run across all competitions. This will surely bring them closer to Bayern Munich who are in the top spot in the league table. This is an essential game for the Bundesliga defenders.

Hoffenheim are also coming in with a win in their last fixture. They had a close contest against Anderlecht but defeated them fair and square in the UEFA Europa League. This game should be a tough contest for Hoffenheim against Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen.

Players to Watch

Alejandro Grimaldo (Bayer Leverkusen)

The Spaniard is capable of scoring goals and defending while controlling the midfield. The all-in-one factor makes Alejandro Grimaldo a special star for Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso will make sure the 29-year-old is part of Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s starting XI. He can be a real threat to opponents all over the field.

Andrej Kramaric (Hoffenheim)

The Croatia national football team player has scored seven goals and has also come up with a couple of assists for Hoffenheim in 18 Bundesliga matches this season. The hosts Bayer Leverkusen will have to focus on his moves and should not let him take the open spaces. The forward will be an important addition against Xabi Alonso’s men.
