Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Following a routine 2-0 win over Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich will look to clinch second place in the standings when they face Hoffenheim on the last day of the season. The Bavarians quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Stuttgart and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash as well. Bear in mind, though, that all Harry Kane, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, and Kingsley Coman are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s troops, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 6-0 crushing of Darmstadt and given the number of important absentees in the away side, home win should definitely be considered. A win over Bayern Munich will see Hoffenheim book their spot in European competitions, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on Ihlas Bebou and Co. The likes of Dennis Geiger, Stanley Nsoki, Mergim Berisha, and Marco John are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
