Ten Hag is lucky that Bayer plays at home against relegation contenders Hoffenheim in the first round. It would be hard to imagine an easier start. But then there will be Werder away and Eintracht at home - these are serious games that will help us understand what the team is capable of. At the moment, bookmakers rate Bayer as a confident top-2 favorite. I usually trust the bookies but I think Ten Hag has a lot of potential to surprise 
An easy game against Hoffenheim saves his first month coaching career at Leverkusen. However, i'm still doubting his club to win against Hoffenheim. I meant their pre-season result at very least spilled how unbalanced his team is. Crap at attack, weak at defense, and clueless in the mid. Though, bookie quoted his club is the favorite to win the game. I won't be surprised if he can stay only until the half of season, then get sacked by Leverkusen.
