Bayern Munich will look to melt Bayer Leverkusen’s advantage in the Bundesliga standings to only one point when they take on Hoffenheim in the opening match of round 17.
The Bavarians played out a slim 1-1 draw with Basel during the winter break, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat Hoffenheim at their Allianz Arena.
Important midfielder Joshua Kimmich is back to contention as well as Leon Goretzka, while pacey winger Serge Gnabry remains in the recovery room, alongside Noussair Mazraoui, Bouna Sarr, and Gabriel Marusic.
The visitors, on the other hand, are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, meaning that a high-scoring affair is on the cards.
Hoffenheim midfielder Diadie Samassekou is on international duty with Mali, while all Bambase Conte, Mergim Berisha, Marco John, and Dennis Geiger remain on the sidelines with injuries. Bayern Munich defenders should have Croatia striker Andrej Kramaric at bay.

Recommended Pick: Over 2.5 Goals.
