The recent few weeks have been full of turmoil at Bayern Munich and they will hope for an easier time as they welcome Hoffenheim in their next Bundesliga game. Bayern have a two-point advantage at the top of the standings and face a Hoffenheim side that has just risen to three points outside the relegation region. The hosts are coming from a humiliating 3-0 loss at Manchester City in the Champions League. After this game there was an altercation between players, which saw Sadio Mane reprimanded and will serve an internal suspension as Bayern play this game. That loss to City was their third in five matches but the first time in that period that they failed to score and they have just one clean sheet in the five matches.in four of the last five matches, Bayern Munich have conceded two or more goals. four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Hoffenheim are on a good run coming into this game, with three straight wins and they will want to extend that at a very tough venue. They have no win in the last four matches against Bayern Munich but taking on the champions in their current state will generate the needed belief. A 4-1 win at home in 2020 was the last time Hoffenheim beat Bayern, and also the only time in the last seven meetings. After scoring twice or more in each of their last three matches, and getting their first clean sheet in five in their most recent, Hoffenheim will feel confident about this game. Three of their last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve only failed to score in one of their last five matches.
Hoffenheim have the better run coming into this game but playing away to Bayern Munich will still place them as underdogs. Bayern have been conceding a lot lately and with Hoffenheim getting more and more confident in attack, we expect this to be a high scoring game. Our prediction for the Bayern Munich v Hoffenheim game is for it to produce over 2.5 goals with both sides scoring.
