Hoffenheim take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the round 34 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 17th at PreZero Arena (Sinsheim).
Hoffenheim are happy to see this season come to an end. The Kraichgauer may be a relatively young and unconventional club, but they’re not short on ambition. This is the team where Julian Nagelsmann made his name, even guiding them into the Champions League at one point. While they couldn’t repeat that success, Pellegrino Matarazzo finally delivered a solid campaign in 2023/2024, securing 7th place with 46 points. That earned them a spot in the Europa League, but the Germans failed to impress — just two wins and nine points weren’t enough to progress past the group stage. Domestically, things didn’t improve, neither under Matarazzo nor after Christian Ilzer took over. The Austrian at least created some distance from the relegation zone, though even in May, Kramaric and co. struggled to average one goal per match. Their most recent outing, a 2-2 draw with Wolfsburg, summed up their erratic form.

Bayern Munich made heavy investments ahead of last season, including bringing in Harry Kane, who had given up hope of winning a trophy at Tottenham. Ironically, his first year in Germany yielded no silverware, and Bayern even finished third in the Bundesliga. Vincent Kompany’s appointment raised eyebrows, especially since he had just suffered relegation from the Premier League with Burnley. His start wasn’t smooth — Bayern crashed out early from the DFB Pokal and were eliminated in the Champions League playoffs by Bayer Leverkusen, then fell to Inter at home in March. But at least the team delivered domestically, clinching the Bundesliga title with matches to spare. In their most recent league game, they dispatched Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0 in a confident display.
Last season, each team won its home fixture. But in January, Bayern cruised to a dominant 5-0 victory in Munich. There’s no question Bayern are the stronger side — the only uncertainty is by how much. Back the visitors to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Bayern Munich to win with -1.0 handicap.
