Bayern Munich - Hoffenheim Prediction, Picks and Tips
The Bavarian side leaves as favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it possesses, which increases when it acts in the Allianz Arena. For this reason and even when his rival is tactical and competitive between the lines, we believe that the boys of Niko Kovac have what it takes to manage the ball, generate some chances of goal and win the first 45 'minutes of play. Faced with this reality and knowing that the game will be round trip, we play it for the bet "Bayern Munich will score in the first half".
Those led by Niko Kovac played several friendlies throughout the summer to get the best possible way to this league debut (3-1 victory against PSG, 2-0 defeat against Juventus, 2-3 fall against Manchester City and victory 1 -0 against Manchester United). Then they thrashed Eintracht Frankfurt for the German Cup, showing all their football superiority by winning 0-5 (0-2 lead in the first half). After winning this trophy, the team crushed 1-4 to Hamburg in another preparation game, to finally beat the Drochtersen / Assel with the fair by DFB Pokal (0-1 with Lewandowski's goal at 36 'minutes of the second half). . Continuing with the analysis you should know that the German press criticized the game of Bayern against the Drochtersen / Assel, highlighting the lack of mobility of the flyers and the little creativity of the team at the time of elaboration. Under his conception, to suffer before a rival of fourth division is something unforgivable for a squad like the one that the Croatian technician has. Those who suffered most in this presentation were Lewandowski, Ribery and Robben, since the 3 had no one to associate with to generate goal situations. This could change with the return of James Rodriguez, a talented midfielder who is known for having a lot of vision. In his place has been playing the Spanish Thiago Alcántara, element of good standing but without the precision that the Colombian has.
The campaign of the "blue" box last season can be classified as exceptional, as it managed to qualify for the Champions League that is about to begin. Thanks to the good results achieved by coach Nagelsmann and his boys, the team placed third in the Bundesliga and registered 55 units in total (15 wins, 10 draws and 9 falls). In terms of goals, scored 66 and gave 48, ratifying his proposal vertical and direct to the arch rival. Of course, seek to improve in defense and be more balanced between the lines, since they can not yield so many annotations in their presentations. Playing as a visitor in the previous tournament, Hoffenheim registered acceptable results after winning 4 matches, matching another 6 and losing the remaining 7 that he played in this condition (28 goals scored and 32 transferred in his goal). If we analyze these markers we can confirm that the "blues" were not balanced between lines, basing almost all their campaign on what they did playing at home. As an added fact, remember that coach Nagelsmann appeals to the quality of his players and not so much to tactical work. According to his words, the training does not matter, since it represents 40% of the game. The rest is clearly the work of their leaders.
