Comments on Bayern Munich vs Hoffenheim: Distracted by the Champions League
Bayern Munich has just received a stunning 0-3 defeat to Man City in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. This result means that the "Gray Lobster" has almost no chance to continue in the continental cup. Due to being eliminated in the national cup, the Bundesliga becomes the only arena where Bayern Munich still hopes to be crowned in the 2022/2023 season.
At the moment, Bayern Munich is at the top of the table with 58 points. However, they only have 2 points more than rival Dortmund. This is a rather fragile gap and can be leveled after just one round.
This means that Bayern Munich are required to beat Hoffenheim in the 28th round regardless of their Champions League quarter-final second leg against Man City. A draw or loss at home can cost the "Gray Lobster" very dearly.
In that situation, coach Thomas Tuchel will certainly have calculations to complete the dual goals. That is to have 3 points against Hoffenheim and keep the strength for the rematch of the Blue Man. Due to both kicking and holding, the possibility of "Gray Lobster" winning by a difference of 3 goals is not high. Should choose the guest side.
