Die Roten will take on Die Kraichgauer in Matchday 17 of the Bundesliga

The Bavarian giants will hope to extend their lead in the Bundesliga points table when they take on TSG Hoffenheim on Wednesday evening. Die Roten, are in red-hot form and will be hungry to maintain their good form when they face a tough challenge from the away team.

In their last three matches, Bayern Munich lost 2-1 against Mainz, beat Leipzig by 5-1 and won 0-1 against Borussia Monchengladbach. The Bavarian team showed little mercy in their past six matches at the Allianz Arena and will look to do the same against Hoffenheim. With 39 points on the table, they are sitting comfortably at the top position.

Hoffenheim are struggling this season as they are very close to the relegation zone. In 16 games they have only got 14 points on the board and are low on confidence. They do have players who can make the difference but against Bayern away from home will be a very tough task for them. They are winless in their last six away games, in which they drew four and lost two. This will be an exciting clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)

Olise’s tactical awareness is remarkable, allowing him to position himself effectively and create opportunities for himself and his teammates. His ability to lose markers and his vision to play in behind the opposition defence or switch the angle of attack makes him a big threat. Physically he excels in pace, agility, and acceleration which makes him a lethal player on the wing.

Technically, he is highly proficient and does not lose the ball easily. The Frenchman’s ability to understand the game in different situations makes him a top-quality player. In 16 Bundesliga games, he has scored five goals and provided five assists.

Adam Hlozek (TSG Hoffenheim)

Primarily an attacking midfielder, Adam Holzek is right-footed and good with the back-to-goal. He started out as a centre-forward but was eventually moved to play as a winger. He is taller than an average winger or attacking midfielder and is brave when competing for aerial duels.

He primarily creates chances for his teammates by carrying the ball in his feet and progressing it. Hlozek’s versatility is one of his biggest strengths and his impact on the pitch is always visible when he is on the pitch. In 15 matches he scored three goals and provided a assist.
