The Bundesliga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as TSG Hoffenheim take on Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich side at the Rhein-Neckar Arena on Saturday. Bayern Munich have not been at their best this season and have a point to prove going into this game.
TSG Hoffenheim are in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings and have been inconsistent this season. The home side thrashed SV Darmstadt by a comprehensive 6-0 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table and have been surprisingly ineffective this season. The Bavarian giants eased past VfL Wolfsburg by a 2-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
