Last weekend Bayer Leverkusen once again showed their quality in the Bundesliga. Alonso’s team faced Hoffenheim away from home and scorer four times for a 4-1 win. Viktor Boniface scored a brace for Die Werkself while Martin Terrier and Florian Wirtz scored as well. Boniface will be the main danger for Feyenooord when these two teams meet.
