Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim Prediction and Betting Tips | January 15th 2025

Bayern Munich will be looking to open up a seven-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga table when they play host to Hoffenheim on Wednesday. Christian Ilzer’s men have failed to win their last five visits to Allianz Arena and will head into the midweek clash looking to end this dry spell.

Bayern Munich secured their first Bundesliga win of the new year last Saturday, when they edged out Borussia Monchengladbach 1-0 at Borussia Park.

Before that, Vincent Kompany’s side suffered their first league defeat on December 14, when they were beaten 2-1 by Mainz, six days before bouncing back through a 5-1 victory over RB Leipzig.

Bayern Munich have picked up 39 points from their 16 Bundesliga games to lead the way at the top of the league standings, four points above second-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Hoffenheim continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Wolfsburg at the PreZero Arena last weekend.

Ilzer’s men have now failed to win five straight league matches, losing three and claiming two draws since picking up a thrilling 4-3 victory over Leipzig on November 23.

With 14 points from 16 matches, Hoffenheim are currently 15th in the Bundesliga standings, level on points with 14th-placed St. Pauli and just one point above the bottom three.
