Match preview

Hoffenheim host Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on 17 January 2026. Hoffenheim sit 5th on 57 points and Bayer Leverkusen are 6th on 56. Hoffenheim have won 3 of their last 5 (WLWDW), while Bayer Leverkusen have won 2 of 5 (LLWWL). In their last 2 meetings, Hoffenheim won 2, Bayer Leverkusen won 0 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
