Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting tips
A new season of the Bundesliga will be kicked off Friday night by national champion Bayern Munich and TSG Hoffenheim. The visitors finished third last year and have ambitions for the new season.
FC Bayern:
The club from Munich was also the simple champion of Germany last season. Yet it was not a great year for the Munich team, with a lost cup final and the elimination in Europe by Real Madrid. The club management did everything for a long time to keep veteran Jupp Heynckes as trainer for Der FCB. The seventy, however, decided that it had been nice and retired. Instead, former player Niko Kovac was attracted by Bayern. Kovac did well at Eintracht Frankfurt last season. He won the Bayern Cup final with that club.
In the transfer summer there were no major shifts in the selection of Der Rekordmeister. Arturo Vidal was sold to FC Barcelona, and Jerome Boateng is still on the nomination to leave. For him, Bayern wants a decent transfer fee, so the question remains whether the defender actually leaves. Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka are two direct reinforcements.
Whether they will start directly in the base is questionable. Kovac seems to want to give confidence to the veterans. Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben will probably be part of the starting eleven on Friday. Robben stands for his tenth season at Bayern. He spoke about his time at the club this week, after his transfer. “In the beginning I was skeptical. I did not know if I had made the right decision. But now I know that it was the best decision in my career. ”
TSG Hoffenheim:
TSG Hoffenheim finished last year in third place in the Bundesliga. The good performance has meant that the architect of the club’s success, trainer Julian Nagelsmann, will leave the club. He still has a contract for a year that he will serve, but then he moves to RB Leipzig. Nagelsmann has a wide selection for his final year in Sinsheim. Mark Uth (Schalke 04) and Gnabry left, but the club also made five purchases.
‘Much higher than we ended last year will be difficult this year,’ Nagelsmann tempered the expectations of Hoffe’s fans. “But we want to do everything we can to be so successful again,” he added. There are the necessary injury cases at Hoffenheim. For example, there are three midfielders who are normally in the starting line on Friday. Joshua Brenet probably starts on the couch. In the attack there is room for the revived Brazilian Joelinton, who made a good impression in the preparations.
