My Thoughts
First, let this writer apologise for the lack of work on here this weekend- it's exam time.
When these two sides met in December, Hoffenheim went into the game at the Allianz Arena knowing whatever the result, they would top the Bundesliga at the halfway stage. A titanic battle ensued- Hoffenheim taking the lead through Vedad Ibisevic, before a Bayern comeback resulting in a late winner for Luca Toni. A horrible slump in form after Christmas, which was not helped by the loss of Ibisevic to a knee injury, has resulted in Hoffenheim falling out of contention even for a Europa League place, however a mini-revival has seen them win their last 2 games and move up to 7th place. Bayern, who have re-appointed Jupp Heynckes following the dismissal of Jurgen Klinsmann and his Buddha statues (no, really) are still very much in contention for the Bundeslinga, and will be desperate for 3 points. Heynckes has won all 3 of his matches in charge so far, and will know that another 2 wins are vital if his team are to triumph.
The Verdict
Hoffenheim may well have rediscovered ther mojo in their last 2 games, however Bayern may well prove too strong here. Away win
The Bet
Bayern are a best-price 4/7 with extrabet to win- very poor value in this writer's opinion. Alternatively, Lukas Podolski seems to be rediscovering his form under Heynckes. He can be backed at 13/10 with expekt.com to score anytime
