Bayern Munich still leads the league table with 51 points, but their advantage has narrowed after their 2-2 draw against Hamburg on January 31st. This result leaves the gap between the "Bavarian giants" and second-placed Dortmund at just six points.

Meanwhile, Hoffenheim sit third with 42 points, creating a tense chase behind the leading group.

Bayern's poor defensive form is becoming a worrying issue. In their last three Bundesliga matches, Vincent Kompany's team has faced as many as 13 dangerous scoring opportunities from their opponents, a number equivalent to the previous 10 matches combined.

The Bavarian team also conceded 5 goals in their last 3 matches, the same number as in the previous 6 matches. However, Bayern's attack has maintained a consistent performance, scoring at least 2 goals in 12 out of their last 13 matches across all competitions.

A victory in this match is crucial for Bayern, especially as they will be visiting their rivals Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park later this month. Allianz Arena remains a major stronghold for the Bavarian team, despite their surprising 1-2 defeat to Augsburg after an impressive home run of 12 wins and one draw.

Meanwhile, Hoffenheim is emerging as one of the best-performing teams in the Bundesliga. Coach Christian Ilzer's team just beat Union Berlin 3-1 and is on a seven-match unbeaten run in the domestic league, including six wins. Hoffenheim has only conceded four goals during this period and has won all five of their last Bundesliga matches.

Not only are Hoffenheim solid in defense, but they also impress in attack, scoring at least 3 goals in 9 of their last 14 league matches. A win at Allianz Arena would give them their third consecutive away victory, a feat that demonstrates their genuine ambition to compete this season.

However, the head-to-head history still favors Bayern, as the "Bavarian giants" have won three consecutive matches against Hoffenheim, including a 4-1 victory in September 2025. This promises to give coach Kompany's team a favorable psychological advantage in the upcoming rematch.

Four goals in Arsenal's crushing victory over Bayern: In the early hours of November 27th, Arsenal maintained their impressive form by defeating Bayern Munich 3-1 in the 2025/26 Champions League qualifying round.
