Hoffenheim v Bayern Munich: Prediction, Tips and Odds

The Bundesliga season is almost done and dusted but there are some important matches to look forward to this weekend, including Hoffenheim's home encounter with Bayern Munich.

Bayern will be looking to secure the runners-up berth on the final day, while Hoffenheim are still in contention for the top six and a place in the Europa League.

In order for them to squeeze into those positions, though, they need to win this contest and hope Eintracht Frankfurt lose to RB Leipzig with a goal difference swing of three.

Hoffenheim v Bayern Munich betting tips and predictions

Hoffenheim or draw double chance - 10/11

Although slim, Hoffenheim have a chance of making the top six in the Bundesliga this season and they can make life tricky for Bayern on the final day of the campaign.

Hoffenheim have lost just one of their last four contests in the Bundesliga and were especially impressive last Sunday, thrashing Darmstadt 6-0 at the Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor.

They were beaten 3-0 by Bayern in the reverse fixture back in January, but were not helped in that match by a sending-off in the second half.

Meanwhile, Bayern have been hit and miss since then, picking up just one win in their last four matches.

As part of that streak, they lost road matches to Stuttgart and Real Madrid and only 29 of their 72 points in the league have been collected on their travels.

They still have a fairly lengthy injury list, with Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman among those set to miss out.

Not finishing second would be pretty underwhelming for the Bavarians, but it is fair to say that Hoffenheim, vying for Europa League qualification, have more incentive heading into this contest and they can avoid defeat.

Over 4.5 goals - 13/10

Hoffenheim and Bayern have been two of the most exciting teams to watch in the Bundesliga this season and their final-day tussle at the Rhein-Neckar Arena is unlikely to disappoint.

Hoffenheim prevailed 6-0 against Darmstadt last time out, meaning that four of their last five matches have featured over 4.5 goals and that could be another wise pick in this match.

Bayern's league contests have averaged 4.03 goals per game this term, while Hoffenheim's have averaged 3.82 goals per game - they are the two highest averages in the division.

Needing a goal difference swing of three between them and Eintracht Frankfurt, Hoffenheim can be expected to play on the front foot and push for goals but that could also leave them vulnerable at the back against the visiting Bavarians.

Andrej Kramaric to score at anytime - 6/4

Braces from Ihlas Bebou and Maximilian Beier in the 6-0 drubbing of Darmstadt last time out showed the range of goalscorers Hoffenheim have at their disposal.

Beier took his league tally to 15 goals in that fixture, but Andrej Kramaric is not far behind him on 12 strikes in 29 matches.

Kramaric has dropped into a deeper role this season for Hoffenheim but is still scoring goals and was on target in their most recent home game against Leipzig.

He is a fine bet to score on the final day of the season.
