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.
Everybody expects Leverkusen to sail through easily against Hoffenheim, the Leverkusen side has more experience players than Hoffenheim and they are about the second best team in the league at the moment, the Hoffenheim side would try to cause some scare but at the end of the day it is Leverkusen that is expected to emerge winners in this particular fixture.
