Leverkusen Form & Balance Check
Xabi Alonso’s Werkself are currently the most in-form team in Europe. They have not lost a single game in all competitions in the 2023/24 season, are on course for the Bundesliga championship, have reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League and the semi-finals of the DFB Cup. There are still several titles up for grabs for Bayer and of course they would love to take them all with them. They have won all of their last seven games in the league and would like to pick up where they left off before the international break
Triple load
Bayer Leverkusen are still in demand in the Europa League, the DFB Cup and of course in the league itself, where they are still fighting for the championship. The Werkself have many English weeks behind them and in fact still have some ahead of them. In addition, many players from the squad were with their nations during the international break and also played several games there in a short space of time. The workload is enormous, not only physically but also mentally. The Leverkusen players have to deliver every week, not least because everyone now expects it of them. It will be interesting to see if, and if so when, the point comes when the team gets tired

Hoffenheim Form & Balance Check
Hoffenheim are having a very mixed season. After an excellent start to the new season, with four wins from the first five games, they fell into a small hole in their form and have not yet managed to get out of it. They deservedly lost their last two games against their direct rivals from Frankfurt and Swabia from Stuttgart without really becoming dangerous themselves. They are currently in eighth place, just behind the places that would be enough for the international stage.
Strong Sinsheim away from home
This season, TSG feel more comfortable away from home than in their own stadium. They are in sixth place in the away table and have won six of their 13 matches. An important factor for the Sinsheimers is Maximilian Beier, who was recently called up for the national team. He is in very good form and has already scored twelve goals and provided five assists in 27 games this season. This makes him TSG’s top scorer

Exequiel Palacios is an option for the midfield position. Borja Iglesias could also start up front and Patrick Schick could come in as a wild card.
Hoffenheim are still without central defender John Anthony Brooks (suspension). Kevin Akpoguma will play in his place. Andrej Kramaric could start for the recently weak Wout Weghorst
