Bundesliga matches are set to happen tomorrow, promising to delight us with exciting moments and outcomes. Let's delve into the 17th round game between Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim. The match will commence at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, De Ligt, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sané, Musiala, Coman; Kane.
Hoffenheim: Baumann; Vogt, Brooks, Kabak; Stafylidis; Kaderábek, Promel, Grillitsch, Skov; Bebou, Kramaric.
Let's talk about the boys on route to their 12th title this season. Bayern Munich currently hold 2nd position in the table, tallying 38 points. They trail Bayer Leverkusen by a mere 4 points. The club suffered only one defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt earlier in December, losing at home with a scoreline of (5:1). In the last Bundesliga round, they narrowly defeated Wolfsburg on the road (2:1). A week ago, they held a friendly against Basel, which ended in a draw with each team scoring 1 goal. Noussair Mazraoui and Kim Min-jae are absent due to the Africa Cup and the Asia Cup respectively. Serge Gnabry (tendon), Bouna Sarr (ACL), Gabriel Marusich (ACL), Daniel Perez (knee), and Tarek Buhmann (patellar tendon) will be unable to play due to injuries.
Now, let's talk about the 'Blues'. Hoffenheim concluded the previous season in the 12th position. Currently, the team occupies 7th place in the table, boasting 24 points. The club's goal scoring and conceding statistics stand at 32 against 30. Their current form doesn't inspire much positivity. In the most recent Bundesliga round, they played out a draw against Darmstadt 98, scoring and conceding 3 goals each. Last week, in a friendly, they suffered a defeat against Augsburg, conceding the only goal of the match. Diadie Samassekou was called up for the Africa Cup. Bambase Conte will not be available due to injury.
In their last 5 encounters, Bayern Munich managed to claim victory three times. The most recent face-off, which happened on April 15th of the previous year, resulted in a draw, with both teams netting a single goal.
Now, after our dissect, let's sum it up. Surely, the options here are minimal. Bayern Munich must start this year with a victory, and Hoffenheim presents an excellent contender to realise this ambition, especially in a home game. My bet would be a victory for the hosts in the first half.
Given Bayern Munich's exceptional home performance, it's fair to assume there will be an abundance of goals. I'd place a bet on total goals over 2.5.
