Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Predictions
Niko Kovac men are sized up to be a formidable force, not only in Germany but throughout Europe as well. The hosts ran riot during a Champions League runner-up in 2019 and posted a humiliating 7-2 scoreline in their favor, it was also in the back yard of their opposition.
It is also worth mentioning that Bayern are now unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions and scored no fewer than three goals or more in each of their last four clash in a row. Disposing of home advantage to the field, and it will be worse for their opponents.
Additionally, Hoffenheim has dropped to a very unconvincing start of the season and the sport just one win from their last six matches in the league. The visitors are without a sense of accomplishment in their previous four games in running, the latter of which is a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Borussia Monchengladbach at home.
Also, the away side had failed to take down Bayern in their previous visit to this place and had to admit defeat in the past ten twelve of their visit here. Given that visitors do not come out on top in one of the recent events they have so far also, it is quite clear that Hoffenheim did not pose a threat to man's Niko Kovac.
So, relying on Bayern will lead at the break. And to take all three points in the last blast of the whistle. In addition, the hosts have scored three goals or more in each of their last three games at home.
Taking into account that Lewandowski red hot form and Serge Gnabry that at the moment, certainly safe to expect Bayern to rack up over 2.5 goals in the chart all on their own.
