------------------------------------
Bayern Munich
Vincent Kompany does not have any new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Bayern Munich manager might be bereft of the services of as many as six first-team players vs VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday.
Daniel Peretz (kidney), Sacha Boey (ankle), Hiroki Ito (foot), Josip Stanisic (hamstring), and Joao Palhinha (groin) remain on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Kompany is sweating over the fitness of Jamal Musiala, who might miss out due to his bout with illness.
Manuel Neuer is an automatic pick between the sticks, with Bayern Munich lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs TSG Hoffenheim on Wednesday. The backline should feature Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-jae, and Alphonso Davies.
As for the midfield unit, there is no looking past Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, with Thomas Muller reprising the no. 10 role. Finally, Harry Kane will lead the line for Bayern Munich against TSG Hoffenheim, with Leroy Sane and Michael Olise being the two wide attackers.
TSG Hoffenheim
Like his counterpart in the Bayern Munich dugout, Christian Ilzer does not have any new issues to worry about ahead of the trip to the Allianz Stadium. The TSG Hoffenheim manager might be without as many as six first-team players on Wednesday.
Ozan Kabak (knee), Christopher Lenz (calf), Grischa Promel (knee), Umut Tohumcu (ankle), and Ihlas Bebou (knee) remain on the sidelines. Marius Bulter is closing in on returning from a thigh injury, but Wednesday’s game has come too soon for him to feature in the matchday squad.
Oliver Baumann will take his spot between the sticks, with TSG Hoffenheim lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Bayern Munich on Wednesday. The backline will feature Valentin Gendrey, Arthur Chaves, Stanley Nsoki, and Alexander Prass.
As for the midfield unit, Anton Stach and Diadie Samassekou should pair up in the double pivot. The duo will aim to keep things tight in the middle of the park, with Adam Hlozek taking up the more advanced position. Finally, Tom Bischof and Andrej Kramaric will be the two wide attackers, with Gift Orban spearheading the TSG Hoffenheim attack against Bayern Munich this midweek.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Sane; Kane
Hoffenheim possible starting lineup:
Baumann; Gendrey, Chaves, Nsoki, Prass; Stach, Samassekou; Bischof, Hlozek, Kramaric; Orban
Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
With 22 wins from the last 34 meetings between the sides, Bayern Munich boasts a clear upper hand in the history of this fixture.
Hoffenheim have picked up just five wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on seven occasions.
Bayern are unbeaten in their last five home games against Ilzer’s men, picking up four wins and one draw since a 2-1 defeat in October 2019.
Hoffenheim are one of just three sides yet to taste victory away from home in Bundesliga this season, losing three and claiming four draws from their seven matches.
Bayern have won all but one of their seven Bundesliga home games this term, with a 1-1 draw against Leverkusen on September 28 being the exception.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 5-0 Hoffenheim
Bayern have been outstanding at home for some time, and it would be one of the most shocking results of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season were they to drop points at Allianz Arena against Hoffenheim. Considering Kompany's side have been rampant in front of goal, they will be confident that they can add significantly to their impressive tally and boost their goal difference even further.
