Bayern Munich travel to face Hoffenheim with one forced change in their predicted line-up, as Thomas Tuchel deals with squad adjustments ahead of the clash. The Bavarians have been in solid form, but defensive discipline and balance in midfield remain key talking points. With injuries and suspensions shaping team selection, Bayern will look to maintain their dominance in the Bundesliga while adapting to the available players.
The most notable alteration comes in defense, where a forced change sees Matthijs de Ligt expected to step in, replacing the unavailable Dayot Upamecano. This adjustment means Tuchel may opt for a more compact backline, with Alphonso Davies and Noussair Mazraoui pushing forward from the flanks. In midfield, Joshua Kimmich will continue to anchor alongside Leon Goretzka, ensuring stability while providing the creative spark for transitions into attack.
Up front, Harry Kane leads the line as the main goal threat, supported by Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala, who have been in excellent form this season. Kingsley Coman is also in contention to start, adding width and pace against Hoffenheim’s defensive setup. Despite the forced change, Bayern’s attacking firepower remains intact, and the team will be confident of securing another vital win to keep pressure at the top of the Bundesliga table
