Correct score prediction: Leverkusen 3-1 Heidenheim
Bayer Leverkusen will enter this fixture looking to break into the top four of the German top division after this weekend's matches. Still on a high after earning a 1-0 victory over Portuguese side Benfica in Europe's elite club competition, Kasper Hjulmand and his charges will be eager to follow that with a victory in the domestic league.

**Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
From all indications, Bayer Leverkusen are the favourites to emerge victorious in this fixture, considering the form of the two teams and their head-to-head records.
For a victory, the home side are priced at 2/5 (1.40) to win this match, and when quantified in percentages, the home team has a 71.4% probability to claim all three points.
For the away side, the bookies are less confident in their abilities to win, and it is no surprise that they have odds of 6/1 (7.0), which translates to a miserly 14.3% for a victory for the away side. However, a draw after regulation time comes at 4/1 (5.0), which represents 20.0% of the contest ending in a stalemate.
