TSG Hoffenheim vs Bayern Munich Predictions

• Bayern Munich have won five of their last seven away Bundesliga matches
• Both teams have scored in five of Bayern’s last seven away league trips
• Hoffenheim have scored in six of their last seven home Bundesliga matches, losing each of their last three

Hoffenheim have hope again

Hoffenheim will give it a go but Bayern Munich’s superior quality should see them run out winners at PreZero Arena on Saturday afternoon. The Sinsheim side have made a superb start to the campaign with three wins out of four in all competitions and a brave display in defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt before the international break.

Christian Ilzer’s side appear to be more clinical in attack and less prone to defensive lapses than last season when they avoided dropping into the relegation play-off position on the Bundesliga’s final weekend.

They bounced back from their loss against Frankfurt with a good win over Union Berlin and have a couple of new stars emerging in the team. Forward Fisnik Asllani impressed on loan at second-tier Elversberg last season and has now hit the ground running in the big league with four goals in four games across all competitions.

Rely on Bayern to keep winning run going  

Fellow Kosovan kid Leon Avdullahu has made an impact in midfield too and there is renewed hope that Hoffenheim could be heading for a European challenge again. But there is no getting away from how difficult this Saturday’s clash with the reigning champions looks likely to be.

Vincent Kompany’s side saw off Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday to make it six wins on the bounce this season. Harry Kane remains deadly as ever, Michael Olise has blossomed into one of the best wingers in Europe and a defence that looked vulnerable in games last season is now much tighter.

Despite that, Hoffenheim have a good chance of registering on Saturday because of the attacking interplay of Asllani and Andrej Kramaric. Back Bayern to win and both teams to score.
