Hoffenheim: over 2.5 and BTTS in 6 of 6 games. Is Leverkusen ready for this tempo?
Hoffenheim – Leverkusen · Kick-off: 25 October 2026 at 17:30
By: SportsPF Match Desk · Published: · Updated:
Hoffenheim have conceded in all 6 games they have played this season and all of them went over 2.5 (4.17 goals per game); they are 14th with 4 defeats, and their wins came against lower-table sides like Stuttgart (15th) and Gladbach (18th). Opposite them are 4th-placed Leverkusen: unbeaten in their last 5, they beat Mainz 4-3, Leipzig (5th) 2-0 and last week Freiburg (3rd) 2-1, so the recent run is against serious opponents. Patrik Schick has scored 6 of the team's 16 goals (38%), and they scored 2 or more in all 3 away games. Leverkusen are without Kofane (2 goals), Terrier, Ben Seghir, Doué and Eichhorn, with Culbreath uncertain; at Hoffenheim De Cat, Hajdari and Wimmer are injured, and Conté, who has scored 2 of the team's 11 goals, is doubtful. Hoffenheim beat Leverkusen in the last two meetings (1-0 in January, 2-1 in August 2025).
I think there are goals here: Hoffenheim both scored and conceded in all 3 of their home games, while Leverkusen score 2.67 and concede 2.67 per game away. That is a strong base for BTTS – Yes and Over 2.5. Leverkusen are in form, but since Hoffenheim beat them in the last two meetings I find the double chance X2 a little risky; Leverkusen team goals over 1.5 also makes sense.
