1899 Hoffenheim vs Bayern München (12 December 2026, Bundesliga): match facts, form and head-to-head

A clash of ambitions awaits as 1899 Hoffenheim host Bayern Munich in what promises to be a decisive encounter for both sides. Hoffenheim sit twelfth in the table with three points from a solitary win and two defeats, their goal tally lagging at six for and seven against, while Bayern sit comfortably in fourth place, boasting seven points from two victories and a draw and a striking +5 goal difference (seven scored, two conceded). The Bavarian giants will look to extend their unbeaten run and solidify their push for a European spot, whereas the hosts will be desperate to claim a rare three points and climb out of the relegation‑threatened zone. Historically, Bayern have held the upper hand in recent meetings, and the disparity in form suggests they enter the game as clear favourites, though Hoffenheim’s home advantage could provide a platform for an upset.
