Fantasy Football Tips

Captain Options

Patrick Schick – The Czech international has 10 goal contributions (9 goals and 1 assist) in 15 starts in the Bundesliga. He is in fine form with 3 goals in his last 4 games for the club. He also had 1 goal and 2 assists for the Czech Republic against Estonia during the international break although he had a poor showing against Wales, he will be the main man for Bayer.

Andrej Kramaric – Kramaric has outdone his last season’s tally with 14 goals and 3 assists in the Bundesliga this season. He has created 27 chances, had 33 shots on target and 21 successful dribbles at a completion rate of 57%. Pairing up with Bebou, Kramaric will look to get the ball rolling early on for Hoffenheim.

Differential Pick

Ihlas Bebou – Bebou has been great upfront, alongside Kramaric with 12 goal contributions (7 goals and 5 assists) in the Bundesliga. He has created 35 chances, completed 34 successful dribbles at a 60% completion rate and has a very impressive cross accuracy of 39%. The Togolese international has a goal contribution every 135 minutes as well which will make him a threat in the Leverkusen penalty area alongside Patrick Schick. Bebou has dispatched 17 shots on target and found the net from 7 of them while also maintaining a shot on target rate of 52%.

Likely Winner:

Bayer Leverkusen can potentially overtake Borussia Dortmund with a convincing win against Hoffenheim in the HOF vs LEV Today Match Prediction but they have not been in good form of late. They will hope to build upon their win against Schalke 04 as Hoffenheim seek to get back to winning ways. Although they are clear of the relegation zone, the home side can not take that for granted and a 4th straight loss will push their confidence further down. They have quality players and the potential to hurt Bayer Leverkusen but we can expect a tight game that can swing either side.
