Leverkusen will face Hoffenheim in their opening match of the season, and I think that's a match Leverkusen should be able to win easily. On paper, Leverkusen is the clear favorite, Hoffenheim is a mediocre team that almost got relegated last season. Therefore, I think this is a great opportunity for Ten Hag to secure his first win, which would help him gain a lot of support from the fans at BayArena. However, if an upset were to happen, Ten Hag would immediately face sharp criticism from the fans.

Looking at the odds offered by the bookmaker at @1.51, it seems very favorable for the team expected to win the match. Although Hoffenheim was a weak team that nearly faced relegation last season, both teams have undergone changes this season, including new players and new coaches. Therefore, I suggest that anyone planning to bet on this match should wait until the team lineups are officially released by the media. Only then can we better assess what might happen by the end of the match, as even a weaker team could potentially hold their opponent to a draw.

The odds of @1.51 given for Leverkusen's victory are very worthy of betting because they will be playing at home and also Hoffenheim is not a strong opponent so it is very likely that Leverkusen will be able to win the match in front of their own supporters regardless of the changes that have occurred but I don't think there is a big improvement in the Hoffenheim squad to be able to match Leverkusen's strength.
