BAY vs HOF Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Bundesliga resumes after the winter break with the first game sees Hoffenheim playing host to the defending champions Bayern Munich at Rhein-Neckar Arena, in Sinsheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany on Friday night (IST).

The pressure is growing on manager Julian Nagelsmann with each passing week in Bundesliga. Hoffenheim are not known for making strides in German football, but Nagelsmann has done a remarkable job at Rhein-Neckar Arena, taking the team out of obscurity and making it one of the contenders for Champions League places. So he is the man who has set high standards at the club and failing to match it, if not better, could cause some insecurity as far as his job is concerned.

At the moment, Hoffenheim are in a very bad run. They are winless in the last eight games, six in Bundesliga. A big reason why they are sitting outside of European places.

However, the Die Kraichgauer are hard to beat as they are unbeaten in the last 10 games in Bundesliga. The draws have been the main problem. Before the international break, they drew 1-1 against Mainz which was their fifth consecutive in the league this season.

At home, Hoffenheim have played nine games heading into this match, winning three times, while losing just twice.

The hosts need to buckle up for the clash against the mighty Bayern Munich as any lapse against as a talented side as Bayern could prove to be fatal.

The reigning champions started the season under a new manager in Niko Kovač. And it’s fair to say that the Bayern’s results and the performance this season have failed to reach their usual standards.

As things stand in Bundesliga, Bayern are second in the table with 36 points from the first 17 games, behind eternal rivals Borussia Dortmund by 6 points.

But the recent games showed improvement in the Bavarian giants’ game. They are unbeaten in the last 8 games with their last loss coming in the Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund, a 3-2 defeat at the Westfalenstadion.

Also, Julian Nagelsmann’s team is not playing at the same level as last season where they finished the campaign at 3^rd in the table.
A win for Bayern Munich is our call.
