Command Analysis

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer got off to a terrible start of the season. Leverkusen team suffered two defeats in a row - they were beaten by Borussia at Dortmund (0:1), after that they suffered an unexpected defeat to Augsburg (1:2). Team's head coach, Gerardo Seoane, surely expected a better start. His team also suffered an elimination from German Cup by a modest Elversberg side (3:4).

Club suffers from constant injury problems, that's one of the reasons of their poor performance. Florian Wirtz, Karim Bellarabi, Robert Andrich, Amine Adli and Andrey Lunyov are sidelined with injuries.

Hoffenheim

The Villagers are putting up an impressive display at the start of the season. In the first round Hoffenheim suffered an away defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach (1:3), but an early red card contributed to that result. In the next game team earned a home victory over Bochum (3:2). Team also succeeded in DFB-Pokal, advancing into the next round.

Ihlas Bebou, Ermin Bicakcic, Benjamin Hubner and Philipp Pentke won't play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
