Hoffenheim vs Bayern Munich prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-05-16 13:30.
[p]After a Bundesliga season full of twists and turns, Hoffenheim’s survival hopes hinge on the final day, as consecutive draws leave them just three points above the relegation play-off spot. Simply avoiding defeat would secure safety, although anything less than survival would be incredible given that Heidenheim’s goal difference is six inferior to Hoffenheim. [/p]
[p]Playing at home against the new champions Bayern Munich may not faze the hosts as only Borussia Mönchengladbach have amassed as many home points against Bayern as Hoffenheim since the start of 2016/17 (13 – W4, D1, L3). Another upset could perhaps be deemed unlikely having won just one of their last ten home league games (D5, L4), but having played out draws in two of their three home games against the top four this season, and with what’s at stake here, they shouldn’t be written off.[/p]
[p]Having won the league with time to spare, Bayern Munich continued their fine form with a 2-0 win over Gladbach last weekend, stretching their unbeaten league run to eight matches (W5, D3). In his first season in charge, Vincent Kompany has overseen just two league defeats, Bayern’s lowest number since 2016/17 under Carlo Ancelotti, while scoring a league-high 95 goals along the way. [/p]
[p]Aiming for a century may not be beyond Bayern as they’ve scored 5+ goals in five matches this season, three of which came away from home. One of the home instances came in the reverse fixture when Bayern ran out 5-0 victors, and considering Bayern beat the three sides currently below Hoffenheim in the table by 4+ goals when they travelled to face them this term, another hefty away win seems possible. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Andrej Kramarić scored a hat-trick in Hoffenheim’s last home game against Bayern (W 4-2), meaning no current Bundesliga player has scored more than his eight goals against the champions. Michael Olise enters the final game of the season having scored and assisted in each of his last three league appearances. He’s the first Bayern player to achieve that feat since Mario Mandzukic’s four-game streak in 2014. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Hoffenheim have conceded a league-high 28 goals within the opening 30 minutes of games this season. [/p]
