Competition: Bundesliga

Market: Bayer Levekrusen win

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on what has been a glittering start to the new campaign, Bayer Leverkusen will face off against Hertha Berlin on Sunday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a real purple patch, Bayer Leverkusen should find the mood in their camp at a real high. In their opening eight Bundesliga matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, three draws and are yet to taste defeat since opening the 2020/2021 campaign. Managing to score 16 goals and conceding nine in return, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat third in the table and just a single point adrift of league leaders Bayern Munich. As for their recent run of results, including a 4-1 win while on Europa League duties earlier in the week, Bayer Leverkusen are in the midst of a five-match winning run across all formats, scoring over 3.5 goals in four of those victories. It should also be noted that Sunday’s hosts have won each of their last four straight home fixtures.

As for the visitors, hit with a thumping defeat last weekend, Hertha Berlin are still in the midst of a worrying run of form and are really seeking a Bundesliga bounce. In their eight top-flight contests so far this year, they have recorded two wins, one draw and five defeats, scoring 15 and conceding 18 in return. Collecting a points tally of seven out of a possible 24 and now sat four points adrift of breaking into the top-half of the table, it should also be noted that Hertha hold the fourth-worst defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, along with a 5-2 drumming against Borussia Dortmund, Sunday’s guests have managed to win just one of their last seven Bundesliga contests, losing five of those appearances.
