Hoffenheim have started the season with attacking intent, but continue to struggle defensively.
Bayern Munich remain dominant, unbeaten in 13 games across all competitions, and possess the firepower to break down Hoffenheim’s defence.
Expect a commanding performance from the reigning Bundesliga champions, with Bayern likely to secure a comfortable win.
Bayern Munich will try and claim a second straight Bundesliga title when they take on Hoffenheim at PreZero Arena on Saturday. Bayern are currently undefeated and sit top of the table with nine points from their opening three matches. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim are also unbeaten this season in league matches and currently sit sixth in the league, only three points behind the champions. After recent success, Hoffenheim will feel confident, having won two of their last four league games, and are sure to be dangerous opposition - especially against the high-flying Bavarians.
