Hoffenheim — Bayern : Match Preview and Prediction for September 20,2025

Early Season Performance

Hoffenheim commenced their current season on a strong note, securing a convincing 4-0 victory against Hansa Rostock in the 1/32 final of the DFB-Pokal.

Bundesliga Form and Home Struggles

Their performance in the Bundesliga has also been commendable, despite a 0-2 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the second round. However, they managed impressive away wins against both Bayer Leverkusen (2-1) and Union Berlin (4-2).Intriguingly, Christian Ilzer’s squad has clinched all three of their victories this season on the road, while their sole home fixture resulted in a loss.

Offensive Style and High-Scoring Matches

The “Blue-Whites” have made it clear that their strategy this season will be predominantly offensive, regardless of their opponents’ caliber. This approach has led to all their matches exceeding “Over 2.5 goals”. In fact, the average number of goals in their games stands at an impressive 4.25!

Key Attacking Players

Their attacking prowess is highlighted by Tim Lemperle and Fisnik Asllani, who have collectively contributed nine (6 goals + 3 assists) goal involvements.

Team Injuries and Absences

Christian Ilzer will definitely be without Zhendrey, Glozek, and Matida. The participation of Berisha and Geiger, however, remains questionable.

Dominant Season Start

Bayern Munich immediately signaled their intent to contend for every trophy available this season.

Early Silverware

Without much delay, the Bavarians added their first piece of silverware, defeating Stuttgart 2-1 on their home turf in the German Supercup.

DFB-Pokal Progression

The subsequent tournament was the national cup, where Vincent Kompany’s side faced an unexpectedly resilient challenge from modest Wehen Wiesbaden, but still predictably advanced with a 2-1 victory.

Bundesliga Supremacy

In the Bundesliga, Bayern currently faces no real competition. Judging by the current state of Bayer Leverkusen and the inconsistent Borussia Dortmund, it seems the “Silver Salad Bowl” (Bundesliga trophy) could already be destined for Munich. They started the league by demolishing RB Leipzig 6-0 at home. While the following away match against Augsburg presented some difficulties, they ultimately secured a 3-2 win. In their most recent league encounter, Hamburg suffered a crushing 0-5 defeat; had Bayern not eased off after a 4-0 lead in the first half, the scoreline could have been even more devastating.

European Form

Just two days prior, Bayern calmly dispatched Chelsea 3-1 at the Allianz Arena, giving the “Blues” very little opportunity to mount a challenge.

Harry Kane’s Stellar Form

Harry Kane is in sensational form, boasting an incredible 13 goal involvements – 10 goals and 3 assists. The English striker has contributed at least one goal or assist in every club match he’s played so far this season.

Team Injuries and Absences

The Belgian coach is still operating without the injured Musiala, Davies, Ito, and Guerreiro. A decision regarding Stanisic’s availability will be made tomorrow.
