THE PREDICTION
Any team that heads to the Allianz Arena this season is having to deal with one of, if not the, best strikers in world football at the moment. With 21 goals in 15 Bundesliga matches, Harry Kane has been magnificent for Bayern Munich this season but did used to be known for being a bit of a slow starter, whether that be a major tournament with England or a Premier League season with Tottenham. Despite that, Hoffenheim are still fighting an uphill battle as they sit just outside of the top seven in the Bundesliga with one win in eight matches across all competitions before the winter break. A comfortable Bayern victory remains expected on Friday evening.
TIP: BAYERN MUNICH TO WIN -1 HANDICAP
