Bayern Munich should return from their winter sleep with a bang against Hoffenheim. They will be looking to put pressure on Bundesliga leader Bayer Leverkusen as Germany emerges from its winter break.
After five straight home victories in the league, the second-place team is anticipated to pick up three more points after winning eight of their previous nine Bundesliga games and scoring 29 goals in the process.
Bayern Munich vs TSG Hoffenheim
With a match against European slot-seekers Hoffenheim, Bayern Munich will resume their pursuit of the top spot in the Bundesliga. This Friday’s game will take place at the Allianz Arena. With 38 points, the hosts are second in the rankings, but they still have a game remaining. With 24 points from 16 games, the visitors are ranked seventh in the rankings.
Even though they still had a game in hand, Bayern was four points behind leaders Leverkusen heading into the Christmas break. Given that they begin this round ahead of Leverkusen, the opportunity to reduce that margin to just one point offers an alluring motivation. They have some form as they have won seven of their past nine competitive games.
Hoffenheim led the top five teams by three points at the half. Although they begin this round earlier than Dortmund, they can close that gap, but defeating Bayern will not be easy. In their previous eight competitive games, the visitors had only one victory and four losses. They have only won once in their last seven league games, with three draws and three losses in that order. The task is to regain their road game form, as they have only managed one point in their last three league away games.
Verdict
But Hoffenheim, the visitors, might put up a fight. They are still in the running for European qualifying since they have scored in all 16 of their Bundesliga games this season, averaging two goals per contest.
It makes sense to support Bayern to win and both teams to score, as they have a strong scoring record and have only failed to score in two of their previous six games with Bayern.
In their most recent away game, Hoffenheim was defeated by this score against RB Leipzig, while Die Bayern have scored precisely three goals four times this season.
As the Bundesliga season gets underway, Bayern cannot afford to lose any more points because their lead over leaders Leverkusen is just four points. The hosts, particularly when playing at home, will be keen to keep up their momentum despite the break. This season, Hoffenheim has participated in several thrilling encounters where goals have been a constant element. If they continue how they are, they might not be able to stop Bayern.
