Erik Ten Hag was primarily on the bench in that Flamengo u20 match. Considering this, Leverkusen, with their best players, must win against Hoffenheim. Even a draw wouldn't be a satisfactory result. Therefore, Leverkusen has no choice but to win. We'll see what happens this weekend. ETH must reward the management who trusted them with a victory.
Leverkusen are still not having a healthy performance, under the management of a new coach and new players the team hasn't balanced, despite the new era condition, Hoffenheim isn't supposed to be a threat. First league game for Leverkusen to be played at home, the squad should be able to satisfy the fans with a grand opening victory.
I expect teams like Bayern, Leverkusen and Dortmund to start the season with 3 points at the top of the table, let the actual competition starts from here. Watching Leverkusen play during preseason, they stand to beat Hoffenheim with no draw as the final result, my bet can go on Leverkusen to win the match.
