Confirmed lineups: Bayer Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim

Here are the official starting XIs for today’s Bundesliga clash between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and TSG Hoffenheim.

The Erik ten Hag era at Bayer Leverkusen gets underway this afternoon, as the Dutch coach leads his side into their 2025/26 Bundesliga opener against Hoffenheim.

After the departures of stars such as Jeremie Frimpong, Jonathan Tah, Granit Xhaka and Florian Wirtz, it is a significantly reshaped Bayer 04 squad that faces Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim, too, have undergone major changes over the summer transfer window, making this an intriguing clash between two restructured sides.
