With a rating of 6.76 and a total of 1 goal and 6 key passes, Hložek's influence on the pitch is undeniable. His agility and vision will be crucial for Leverkusen's offensive play.

The attacking prowess of Amine Adli cannot be overlooked either. Adli, with a rating of 7.04, has contributed 2 goals and 3 assists, making him a key figure in Leverkusen's offensive unit. His link-up play and finishing skills will pose a threat to any defense.

Key Players - 1899 Hoffenheim

Despite Hoffenheim's mid-table position, Ihlas Bebou has been a standout performer. With a rating of 6.75, 3 goals, and an assist, Bebou's pace and skill will be vital for Hoffenheim as they look to penetrate Leverkusen's defense.

Attacker Marius Bülter brings an element of unpredictability to the team. With a rating of 6.76 and 3 assists, Bülter's creative playmaking is key to Hoffenheim's attacking strategy.

The midfield stability is provided by Florian Grillitsch, whose rating of 6.84 reflects his consistent performances. Grillitsch's ability to control the game's tempo and his defensive contributions will be essential in Hoffenheim's efforts to keep Leverkusen at bay.

Recent Form

Bayer Leverkusen's recent form is nothing short of impressive. With a string of WWWWD in their last games, they have demonstrated both resilience and a winning mentality. Their unbeaten run this season is a testament to their quality and depth.

On the other hand, 1899 Hoffenheim has struggled to find consistency, with their last five games showing a concerning pattern of LDDDL. They will need to dig deep and find a level of performance that has eluded them in recent matches if they hope to challenge the league leaders.
