Match preview

Hoffenheim, as mentioned, made a positive start to their 2020-21 Bundesliga campaign last weekend, recording a 3-2 success at Koln, with Croatian forward Andrej Kramaric scoring a brilliant hat-trick.Die Kraichgauer finished sixth in the Bundesliga last term and will therefore compete in the group stages of this season's Europa League.There was a change of manager at the end of last season, though, with Sebastian Hoeness leaving his role with Bayern's reserve side to take on the position.The 38-year-old will be determined to upset his former employers on Sunday afternoon, but Bayern ran out 6-0 winners when they travelled to Hoffenheim in the corresponding fixture last term.Bayern, as mentioned, started their title defence with a stunning 8-0 win over Schalke at the Allianz Arena last weekend, with Serge Gnabry netting a hat-trick for the champions.Hansi Flick's side beat Sevilla 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup on Thursday night, meanwhile, with Javi Martinez producing the winning goal in the 104th minute of the contest in Budapest.Bayern again proved to be far too strong for the rest of the Bundesliga last season, picking up 82 points from their 34 matches to finish 13 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund.The Munich giants have now won the German title in each of the last eight seasons, but the 2019-20 campaign proved to be particularly special as they also won the German Cup and Champions League.It does appear that Der FCB will be the team to beat in the European Cup again this term, with the addition of Leroy Sane from Manchester City making them even stronger in the final third of the field.
