Hoffenheim travel to the Allianz Arena on the back of a 3-3 draw at home with Darmstadt last time out in the Bundesliga.

Team news: Bayern Munich have six players on the treatment table, with Daniel Peretz, Noussair Mazraoui, Serge Gnabry, Bouna Sarr, Tarek Buchmann, and Gabriel Marusic all unavailable. Kim Min-jae is in the South Korea squad for the Asian Cup.
Hoffenheim are expected to be without Bambasé Conté, Mërgim Berisha, Marco John, and Dennis Geiger due to injury.
This could be an exciting game to watch and although Bayern Munich are the clear favourites to win, Hoffenheim could trouble the hosts defensively. We expect to see Bayern Munich come out on top, with both teams scoring.
