After four defeats, Hoffenheim came to their senses and produced four classy matches. First, they beat Arminia 2:0, then Wolfsburg 2:1, then Stuttgart 2:1 and, last week, Cologne 1:0. These victories allowed the team to climb up the table into the Champions League zone. Hoffenheim is currently sitting in fourth place with 43 points, two points ahead of relegated RB Leipzig.

Bayern is chasing another Salzburg title. They have all the chances for the double in the Champions League round of 16, as they beat Salzburg 7:1 to reach the quarter-finals last week. As for the Bundesliga, the Munich side disappointed in the last round. They failed to beat Bayer at home in a 1:1 draw. Nevertheless, Bayern is leading the table with 59 points, nine ahead of second-placed Borussia D (although the Bumblebees still have a game in hand).

We favour Bayern Munich in the upcoming encounter. After a crazy win in the return leg of the Champions League last eight, the team will obviously be on a roll, and a second straight defeat in the Bundesliga is not in the spirit of such a powerful club. In the first leg, the visitors thrashed the hosts 4:0. We wouldn't expect anything like that now, but an ordinary win would be fine. Prediction: Bayern Munich will win + Total Over (1.5).
