Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting tips
It was the beginning of October when TSG Hoffenheim was not in good shape and had to play for the big FC Bayern. At that time, the Kraichgauer won sensational 2-1 in the Allianz Arena. It was another milestone on the way to the dismissal of Niko Kovac, who had to leave Säbener Strasse just a few weeks later.
Now the Hoffenheimers come to the Isar again, this time in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup. FC Bayern is again the towering favorite, but Alfred Schreuder is currently coming to Munich with a strong team and makes no secret of the fact that a win is the intermediate goal of TSG on Wednesday, because at the end of the season 1899 wants to compete in the cup final in Berlin.
After FC Bayern has furiously come out of the winter break, there is currently no more difficult task in German football than winning in the Allianz Arena. Therefore Hoffenheim is traveling as a big outsider. However, there is no fear of big names in Kraichgau and therefore the TSG on Wednesday is quite ambitious.
However, Bayern are the team of the hour and have only made it to the top of the Bundesliga for the second time this season after a long race to catch up. In their current form, the Munich team can hardly be beaten at the national level and therefore the prognosis between Bayern and Hoffenheim clearly goes in the direction of a home win.
However, Alfred Schreuder has also started the year 2020 well with his team. The current constitution is absolutely impressive and with the knowledge of how to win in Munich, the Kraichgauer will compete with confidence. Therefore, there may be one or the other betting friend who tends to bet on a surprise between Bavaria and Hoffenheim.
The odds indicate that it makes little sense to bet on a regular victory for Bayern or even on the progress of the record champions. The betting odds seem to be too great for the Munich players. The kick-off for the round of 16 in the DFB Cup between Bayern Munich and TSG Hoffenheim in the Allianz Arena will take place on February 5, 2020 at 19:45 p.m.
Bayern Munich :
The Bavarians have not had the best season so far, but the Munichers now seem to be back in full. Last weekend they took the top of the Bundesliga table for the second time this season. The record master has changed roles and has gone from hunter to hunted again.
Just in time for the decisive phase of the season, Hansi Flick has brought his team back on track. He has again put on the top dogs around Thomas Müller and Leon Goretzka. The success proves the coach right, even if outstanding players like Philippe Coutinho or Corentin Tolisso are only playing a subordinate role at the moment.
Overall, Bayern have won the last seven competitive matches in a row. The Munich team has already left the memo with the 2-5 loss in a friendly against 1. FC Nürnberg. So there is almost nothing left but to check the odds for a home win in the match between Bayern and Hoffenheim.
Last weekend the Bavarians confidently clinched the next win and did nothing more than absolutely necessary. At FSV Mainz there was a 3-1 win, which was already dry after half an hour after the goals of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller and Thiago Alcantara. The goal conceded only marginally.
The confidence in Bayern has increased enormously at the moment. But that doesn’t mean that TSG Hoffenheim will be taken lightly.
The sounds from the Bayern camp sound almost humble before the cup game. Manuel Neuer has great respect for the Kraichgauers and sharpens the senses again with a reference to the defeat in the Bundesliga.
Personally, there is light at the end of the tunnel at FC Bayern. The two Frenchmen Lucas Hernandez and Kingsley Coman are already back in team training. It is probably still not enough for a squad on Wednesday. Only Javi Martinez and Niklas Süle are on the injured list.
Hoffenheim:
TSG Hoffenheim is playing extremely weak in phases this season. In some cases, however, Alfred Schreuder’s team is in excellent shape. Especially against the top clubs in the Bundesliga, the TSG is mostly doing well. There have already been victories against Bayern, Leverkusen and Dortmund this season.
The Kraichgauer are therefore an extremely unpleasant opponent who does not hide from big names. Therefore, the TSG on Wednesday in Munich again chances to win for the second time this season in the Allianz Arena. Hoffenheim is currently in seventh place in the classification.
The Europa League definitely seems to be an option, especially since Hoffenheim has won four of the last five Bundesliga games. This means that Alfred Schreuder’s team can also be found at the top of the form table. Against this background, the cup duel in Munich is the top game of the round.
Nevertheless, everything speaks between Bayern and Hoffenheim for a forecast of the home side. Last Saturday the TSG delivered again. At home, they fell behind Bayer Leverkusen early on, then showed great morale and went on to score 2-1 thanks to Andrej Kramaric and Robert Skov’s goals.
If Hoffenheim manages to admit a little less in the back and act similarly cold-headed in the front, then a surprise should be possible in Munich on Wednesday.
Alfred Schreuder makes it clear once again that he and his team want to go to the final in Berlin. Then you have to clear a chunk like FC Bayern out of the way.
There could possibly be rotation-related changes at the Kraichgauer. Ihlas Bebou or Jacob Bruun Larsen would be alternatives on the offensive. There are also numerous options on the outside and in the back four. Oliver Baumann, Ishak Belfodil and Dennis Geiger will still be missing due to injuries.
