Though Bayern Munich drew a lacklustre 2–2 with Hamburg, the presence of star players like Díaz and Jamal Musiala could be enough to help them defeat Hoffenheim. With a 2.26 predicted goals rate, the champions have been scoring freely, averaging 3.4 goals per game this season. Bayern is sharp in front of the goal, having scored in every game this season. This season, Bayern have given up expected goals of 1.11 on defence, and at least 70% of their games have always ended in both teams scoring, and this signals that the Hoffenheim match will be an open one.
