Hoffenheim get the game underway at the Allianz Arena!
Thomas Tuchel will want his side to make a statement win today after a difficult week both on and off the pitch. A 3-0 defeat to Manchester City was followed by a dressing room bust-up between Leroy Sane and Sadio Mane, which saw the latter banned for this fixture. The reigning champions are on good form in the league, winning five of their last six games.
Hoffenheim come into this match with great confidence as three consecutive wins have taken them out of the relegation zone and into 14th. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team have scored seven goals in those three games, having just scored twice in their previous five. A win could take Hoffenheim seven points clear of the drop zone.
