"The last couple of matchdays have been disappointing for Bayern Munich. They suffered defeat against Augsburg two weeks ago and had to share points in Hamburg last weekend. Vincent Kompany's men will look to put these two results behind them and deliver a convincing win against Hoffenheim on matchday 21 of the Bundesliga. Courtesy of the last two results, the Bundesliga title race has been revived."
"For the first time this season, Bayern Munich may have the entire squad available for selection on Sunday. Harry Kane resumed training on Friday after a bout with illness this week. Manuel Neuer missed the training on Friday due to illness, but Vincent Kompany is confident that the German goalkeeper will make it to the squad on Sunday. Konrad Laimer will also return to the matchday squad after spending the last few weeks due to injury."
"Kompany sounded very confident about Neuer's availability in the pre-match press conference on Saturday. The back four is very easy to pick when Bayern have all defenders fit and raring to go. Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah will play in the heart of defense. Alphonso Davies will start in the left-back position, while Laimer will be back in the action straightaway as he starts on the right side of the defense."
Bayern Munich have dropped points in consecutive matchdays after defeat at Augsburg and a draw in Hamburg. The Bundesliga title race has been revived with Bayern holding a six-point lead over Borussia Dortmund, but the challenge has intensified. Hoffenheim sit third and will provide a stiff test at the Allianz Arena. A win would set the tone for the remainder of the season. For the first time this season Bayern may have the entire squad available, with Harry Kane resuming training and Manuel Neuer expected to feature despite missing Friday training through illness. Konrad Laimer returns and may start as Sacha Boey has departed.
