Lewandowski and Gnabry scored twice each along with Müller’s goal to send Bayern into a 5-0 half time lead. Schick pulled one goal but it was nothing more than a consolation effort.

We foresee another comfortable Bayern win here as they are the side in ruthless form at the moment and look to cut part any side on their turf.
Hoffenheim picked up a massive win last week but still remain an inconsistent bunch.
The likes of Lewandowski, Gnabry are in full flow and should gain the three points for the Bavarian side.
