Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich took a controversial step this summer after a tough break-up with Thomas Tuchel. Board member Max Eberl opted for Vincent Kompany, who couldn’t avoid relegation with Burnley. The move has worked well for both parties, with Kompany’s Bayern leading the Bundesliga with 39 points in 17 matches.
Munchen won 1-0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach in their first match of the year, completing the job but being unimpressive. The team failed to have an impact on their fans. Kompany’s team registered ten shots but was sloppy in the penalty area and only scored 1 goal.

Chelsea have reportedly contacted Munchen about a potential transfer of forward Mathys Tel. However, Bayern wants to keep the 19-year-old, claiming they would be open to a move “if he wasn’t happy.”
Although he hasn’t regularly played for Kompany, a transfer is unlikely, as Tel’s contract expires in four years. The London-based club expressed interest after Munchen inquired about Christopher Nkunku, who is reported to cost 77M.
Dayot Upamecano served his suspension in the last match after accumulating several yellow cards and is expected to return to the starting XI. Kim Min-Jae’s knee injury is likely to cause Eric Dier to start alongside Upamecano. Daniel Peretz’s bruise may also keep him out for the match, while Jamal Musiala recovered in time and is expected to feature against Hoffenheim.

Hiroki Itō, João Palhinha, Josip Stanišić, and Sacha Boey remain sidelined because of injuries.
TSG Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim have had a tough Bundesliga season. They are ranked 15th, only one point above the relegation zone. Club legend Andrej Kramarić has struggled in front of the net, scoring only six goals in 15 matches. Goalkeeper Oliver Baumann has been one of the only consistent performers, saving the team from several embarrassments.
The club have switched formation multiple times, demonstrating that there isn’t a clear tactical identity yet.
A tough game ahead!

Hoffenheim started the year with a disappointing 1-0 defeat at home against Wolfsburg. The visitors were more threatening in the box as Die Kraichgauer were unable to create a significant threat during their possession.
Ozan Kabak, Ihlas Bebou, Christopher Lenz, Grischa Prömel, and Umut Tohumcu remain sidelined, while Marius Bülter awaits the medical green light.
Bet hereBayern Munich vs TSG Hoffenheim Prediction
- Prediction: Bayern Munich to win
- Odds: 1.095 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Bayern Munich 4-0 TSG Hoffenheim
While Bayern Munich failed to convince against Mönchengladbach, they’ll host one of the worst attacking sides in the league. With only 20 goals scored in 16 matches, Hoffenheim are struggling defensively. Only Union Berlin, Augsburg, and Bochum have scored fewer goals.
Historically, Bayern have dominated the visitors, with 27 victories and only five defeats. This season, they’ve scored more than double the number of goals scored by Hoffenheim, at about 28.
Kramarić’s slump in front of the goal is a significant factor in the guest’s weak attacking performance.
Bayern Munich vs TSG Hoffenheim Betting Tip
- Pick: Jamal Musiala to score
- Odds: 2.24 (22Bet)
As he’s recovered in time from illness, Jamal Musiala is likely to lead his side to a victory at Allianz Arena. He’s one of the most complete forwards, dribbling and scoring while physically strong enough to engage in duels when defending. In 13 Bundesliga matches, Musiala has scored 9 goals and assisted two. With Harry Kane also expected to start, Musiala will be the man to watch out for against Hoffenheim.
