In the match against their main competitor for the Champions League zone Bayer will probably play more cautiously on defense, hosts have an advantage on class, so we think that they will record a victory today.
Our prediction - Bayer to win
Bayer have some problems with their defense - in the most recent round team conceded five goals and overall team failed to keep a clean sheet in each of five most recent matches. Hoffenheim have a great offensive line, so it will be hard for the Pharmacists to get a victory by more than one goal.
Our second bet is on Bayer to win by one goal
