Hoffenheim Host Bayern Munich as Champions Chase Another Win

Kompany’s leaders visit an improved Ilzer side despite injuries to Josip Stanišić and Jamal Musiala.

Overview

Kick-off is set for 14:30 BST at the PreZero Arena, with Bayern unbeaten and fresh from a 3-1 Champions League win over Chelsea.
Bayern are without Stanišić for several weeks after a medial ligament tear, with Musiala also sidelined by an ankle issue and Davies, Ito and Guerreiro unavailable.
Hoffenheim miss Koki Machida after cruciate ligament surgery and Adam Hlozek with a broken ankle, yet arrive buoyed by wins over Leverkusen and Union Berlin.
Predicted XIs: Hoffenheim — Baumann; Coufal, Hranac, Hajdari, Bernardo; Avdullahu, Burger; Kramaric, Touré; Lemperle, Asllani; Bayern — Neuer; Boey, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Gnabry, Díaz; Kane.
