Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (12 January)

Opening match of the 17th day of the Bundesliga in Germany this Friday, January 12, 2024, with kick-off at 8:30 p.m. at the lively Allianz Arena in Munich. The Bavarians, reigning champions and currently in runner-up position with a record of 38 points, will challenge Hoffenheim, in 7th position with 24 points on the clock in the German championship. And the objective of the Munich people is simple: to get back on the leader of Bayer Leverkusen, who has 4 lengths in advance but with one more contested match.

The Bayern will be able to continue its great series of 3 successes in a row in all competitions, after having respectively disposed of Manchester United 0-1 in C1, then Stuttgart 3-0, and finally Wolfsburg 1-2 in the Bundesliga. Facing them, the visitors are neck and neck to grab the last ticket via the qualifying championship for the European Cup but, for that, it will be necessary to recover after a difficult end to 2023 where inconsistency predominated. Indeed, Hoffenheim has experienced 3 different outcomes in its last 3 official matches and the last success dates back to December 8, 3-1, against Bochum, before losing to Leipzig, 3-1, to finally share the points in a prolific game. 3 to 3 against promoted Darmstadt.

Over the course of their last 15 matches at the top table of the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim have been involved in no fewer than 14 contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. Given that seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Bayern Munich have followed suit, more of the same is expected in this clash.
