Bayer Leverkusen and TSG Hoffenheim are set to clash in what promises to be an intriguing encounter in the Bundesliga. Both teams have displayed varying degrees of form this season, with Bayer Leverkusen emerging as strong contenders for a top-four finish. Their recent performances indicate a solid offensive strategy, bolstered by key players demonstrating remarkable synergy on the pitch . Conversely, Hoffenheim has struggled with consistency, which could prove detrimental against a high-caliber opponent like Leverkusen.
Home fans will be hoping for improved results, as Osasuna drew six of their last nine league games, losing the other three. Playing at home gives them a better chance to win, having achieved five wins and only two losses in their last ten home league matches.
Sociedad ended a three-match losing streak by winning 2-0 at home against PAOK on Thursday. They will need to carry that confidence into their league performance, as Sociedad lost three of their last four La Liga matches.
Osasuna heads into this match after a 1-1 draw with Las Palmas last weekend. They took the lead in the 53rd minute through Aimar Oroz, but despite Las Palmas losing Dario Essugo to a red card in the 72nd minute, Adnan Januzaj equalized in stoppage time. Osasuna has suffered only one defeat in their last five matches, which was against Atletico Madrid. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad secured a vital 2-0 win over PAOK Salonika in the UEFA Europa League, with Orri Oskarsson scoring both goals. However, La Real has struggled in La Liga, managing just one win in their last five matches. Given Osasuna's current form and home advantage, they may offer good value in this matchup.
Osasuna possible starting lineup: Herrera; Areso, Boyomo, Catena, Cruz; Ruben Garcia, Moncayola, Munoz, Oroz, Barja; Budimir
Real Sociedad possible starting lineup: Remiro; Aramburu, Zubeldia, Aguerd, Gomez; Kubo, Zubimendi, Marin, Barrenetxea; Oyarzabal, Oskarsson
