League leaders Bayern Munich will be seeking to get revenge on Hoffenheim for their matchday two loss when the two sides square off on Saturday, January 30th.

Preview: Bayern vs Hoffenheim

After a slight hiccup following their loss to Gladbach, Bayern have been full steam ahead, with three recent wins helping die Roten open up a seven point gap over RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen. The Bavarian titans cruised to a comfortable 4-0 win over Schalke, albeit given that they have the worst defense in the division and Bayern the strongest attack, anything else but a win would have been a huge shock for Hansi Flick's men.

Meanwhile, Hoffenheim, who suffered a very embarassing 4-0 loss to relegation-threatened Schalke earlier this month, have since recovered and come into this match unbeaten in their last three games. In addition, Sebastian Hoeneß's side have recorded a trio of clean sheets during this run, and that includes back to back 3-0 wins over Hertha Berlin and Köln. As a result, the visitors, who sit in 11th spot, have built a relatively seven-point cushion between themselves and the bottom three sides. Yet, despite this improvement in form, they will arrive at the Allianz Arena dealing with a huge injury crisis.

Hoffenheim notably beat Bayern 4-1 in one of the most shocking results so far this season, but the same team were beaten 4-0 by Schalke with young American striker Matthew Hoppe making headlines by scoring all four goals. However, they have been given a boost with Croatian striker Andrej Kramaric's recovery from COVID-19 as he has scored four goals in his last two games to bring his total to 12 for the season and 74 overall in his Hoffenheim career.

Kramaric netted a brace the last time the two sides met, and naturally will be looking to add more to his total. He won't be the only one - regular Torjägerkanone winner Robert Lewandowski has already racked up 23 goals as he again attempts to break Gerd Muller's 49-year record of 40 goals in one campaign and naturally will seek to inch ever so closer to breaking that record with a goal or two on Saturday.
