Bayern Munich have got to the top of the Bundesliga without breaking a sweat this season, and could extend their advantage on Saturday with a win against Hoffenheim at the Allianz Arena.
Bundesliga Preview
Bayern have already moved to the top of the standings in the Bundesliga, and could open up a four-point advantage with a victory on Saturday. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim are down in ninth in the standings, but a win for them in Munich could see them rise in the table up to sixth.
It has been a fine start to the season for Bayern, as they are sitting top of the league standings, having won six of their opening eight games. Their only defeat in seven came in their last home game, as they were beaten in shocking fashion by Eintracht Frankfurt. However, the Bavarian giants put that defeat behind them in their first game after the international break, as they came out on top against Bayer Leverkusen.
It was an extremely dominant showing by the reigning champions, as they scored five goals inside the opening 40 minutes. Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry both netted braces, while Thomas Muller also scored in the 5-1 demolition.
Hoffenheim have been very inconsistent over the early weeks of the season, and that is evident by their league position in ninth. They have won three times and lost three over their eight fixtures. However, they have shown glimpses that they are finding some consistency in recent weeks, as they have won twice in their last three matches. Their most recent victory came at home against FC Köln.
Like Bayern, they scored five goals in their last game, as Hoffenheim claimed a dominant 5-0 win. Ihlas Bebou scored twice in the win, while, Christophe Baumgartner, Dennis Geiger and Stefan Posch also scored.
Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Head to Head
Hoffenheim have had some recent success in this fixture, as they have won twice in the last four. Their most recent win came last season, as they won 4-1 at home, while they won away at the Allianz in the 2019-20 season. Bayern won the last fixture in Bavaria between these sides 4-1.
Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Prediction
Hoffenheim have proved to be a difficult nut to crack for Bayern in recent season, and come into this with a good win behind them. However, Bayern are still a difficult side to bet against and should get a win. But, the both teams to score market could be a decent selection, as that would have been a winning bet in seven of the last eight games.
