THE PREDICTION
Bayern Munich are seeking to avenge the 4-1 defeat they suffered at Hoffenheim earlier in the season - one of only two losses they have had to endure in the league. Not since the 2010/11 campaign have Bayern lost both matches against the same team, and the chances of that happening on Saturday look pretty slim. The champions are unbeaten in 18 Bundesliga home games going back to November 2019, and have won each of their last three. That said, Hoffenheim head to Bavaria in improved form having recorded their first back-to-back league wins since that victory over Bayern in September. They have also scored in all but one of their away outings this term, while the hosts have not kept a clean sheet at the Allianz Arena since October, so a Bayern win with Both Teams To Score is well worth considering.
