Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the Bundesliga clash between Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich.
After a poor spell in the league, Bayern have regained their form climbed up to second in the table. They have scored 14 goals in their last three games in all competitions, including a 5-2 win over Augsburg during the week in the DFB Pokal second round.
Hoffenheim are currently fifth in the Bundesliga standings and two points behind their opponents today. They have played Schalke twice in the last week, beating them 3-0 in the league and 5-1 in the cup. Striker Munas Dabbur scored three times across the two games.
Hoffenheim (3-5-2): Oliver Baumann; Kevin Akpoguma, Ozan Kabak, Stanley N’Soki; Robert Skov, Grischa Promel, Dennis Geiger, Christoph Baumgartner, Angelino; Georginio Rutter, Munas Dabbur.
SUBS: Philipp Pentke, Andrej Kramaric, Finn Becker, Sebastian Rudy, Tom Bischof, Pavel Kaderabek, Eduardo Quaresma, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Angelo Stiller.
Bayern (4-2-3-1): Sven Ulreich; Benjamin Pavard, Dayot Upamecano, Matthijs de Ligt, Alphonso Davies; Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka; Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman; Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
SUBS: Marcel Sabitzer, Mathys Tel, Sadio Mane, Noussair Mazraoui, Josip Stanisic, Ryan Gravenberch, Johannes Schenk, Arijon Ibrahimovic.
The players are making their way out of the tunnel and onto the pitch!
A lot of Hoffenheim's problems are coming in the wider areas of the pitch. Bayern are overloading each side to play around the defenders and forcing more bodies to drop back. This then makes the counter-attack harder for the hosts as they cannot get enough players forward on the break.
That's all for today, goodbye!
Hoffenheim drop to sixth place following the loss while Bayern close the gap to Union Berlin to just one point now. Hoffenheim will travel to FC Koln for their next game while Bayern play Barcelona in the Champions League before hosting Mainz in the league.
