Bayern Munich vs. Hoffenheim Betting Preview
Bayern Munich
By Bayern Munich’s ridiculously high standards, this has been an extremely poor month. The German giants were dumped out of the DFB Pokal on April 4, and they now face a battle to reach the last four of the Champions League after a 3-0 mauling at the hands of Manchester City. Bayern are also in a fight to retain their Bundesliga crown, as they hold just a two-point advantage over Borussia Dortmund with seven games remaining.
Their league form has at least looked more promising since Thomas Tuchel’s arrival, as they have won their last two. A victory this weekend could see Tuchel become the first coach since Niko Kovac in 2018 to win all three league matches in charge, and only the fourth since 2000 to achieve that feat.
There is a clear lack of attacking threat in the team at present, as they are desperately missing a number nine. That is evident from the fact that they have now scored 15 goals from outside the box in the Bundesliga, which is their highest since records began at this stage of the season.
Regardless, the odds still show them as the outstanding selection for Bayern vs Hoffenheim picks this weekend.
Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim comes into this testing game at the Allianz in good recent form, as they have picked up victories in each of their previous three matches. That run of form has seen them move clear of the bottom three places in the Bundesliga, as they now hold a five-point advantage over the relegation places.
This run of form has come out of the blue, as their third win last weekend was as many victories as they had recorded in their previous 20 on the Hoffenheim schedule.
A key reason for this upturn has been their defensive performances in the first half, as they have avoided conceding in the opening 45 in each of their latest wins. But, that record will be put to the ultimate test this weekend, as no side has scored more goals in the opening half in the Bundesliga than Bayern.
Bayern Munich vs. Hoffenheim Betting Picks
The odds would suggest a very clear winner for making Bayern vs Hoffenheim picks this weekend. We find it challenging to bet against the hosts, as they have lost on just one occasion in their previous 14 at the Allianz Arena against their rivals this weekend.
Therefore, our soccer picks for this fixture in the Bundesliga will be on Bayern (-2) and over 2.5 goals.
- Pick 1: Bayern Munich (-2) +120
- Pick 2: Over 2.5 Goals (-400)
