A tough job awaits Bayern Munich this Saturday at Hoffenheim, where they’ve been slapped more than once in recent years.In the last six visits to the club created by billionaire Dietmar Hopp, the Bavarians have returned as winners only twice. The last time was in February 2020, after which they lost 4-1 and drew 1-1.##NAJAVA_MECA_6745692##Still, Hoffenheim is not a giant in German football. Far from it, actually. However, when the boys in blue and white are in a good mood, they can beat anyone. Even humiliate.The Bavarians show no mercy as they take over Freiburg in the Bundesliga tableJust four days ago, Hoffenheim outclassed Schalke 5-1 in the domestic cup on the wings of the high-flying Mu’nas Dabbur and Ozan Kabak. Not only did they make it to the Round of 16, but they also caused Shalke’s coach’s sacking. Now the sights are on Julian Nagelsmann.Bayern executives not happy with Der Klassiker resultOf course, the 35-year-old tactician has absolutely no reason to worry about his job at the Allianz Arena. He is under contract with Bayern until 2026, and the results are good enough that nobody in Munich even thinks about Nagelsmann in a negative context. The Bavarians are dominant in the Champions League, they have all four victories in the group with Inter, Barcelona and Victoria Plzen, so they have already secured a place in the Round of 16. On Tuesday, they also won a place among the sixteen best teams in the German Cup with their triumph over Augsburg (5-2).Czech it out – Bayern Munich bulldoze the Czech champions to rewrite UCL historyThe only thing that worries Bayern fans at this moment is the position in the Bundesliga table, where Nagelsman’s team is second after ten rounds, four points behind Union Berlin.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 11Saturday 16.30: (6.25) Augsburg (4.30) RB Leipzig (1.61)16.30: (1.85) Leverkusen (3.70) Wolfsburg (4.60)16.30: (1.60) Dortmund (4.10) Stuttgart (6.00)16.30: (1.99) Freiburg (3.60) Werder (4.20)16.30: (5.80) Hoffenheim (4.30) Bayern (1.60)19.30: (2.65) M’ gladbach (3.50) Eintr.Frankfurt (2.80)Sunday 16.30: (4.10) Bochum (3.45) Union Berlin (1.98)18.30: (1.84) Hertha (3.70) Schalke (5.00)***odds are subject to change
