💻 Watch Bayern vs Dortmund live on ESPN+ in the U.S.
Bayern are only two points ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund and are involved in a fiercely contested race for the title this season.
Thomas Tuchel took over from Julian Nagelsmann but his stint has not started well. They beat their rivals Dortmund in Der Klassiker but have since crashed out of the DFB Pokal and are trailing 0-3 against Man City in the quarter-final of the Champions League.
Hoffenheim are 14th in the standings but have won their last three league games. Their recent winning run should give them enough confidence to put up a fight against the defending champions.

Bayern Munich team news
The major update from the Bayern camp is that Sadio Mane will not be available for the game due to disciplinary reasons.
Tuchel is unlikely to take a risk with forward Eric Choupo-Moting who has missed the last few weeks due to injury. He will also miss the presence of long-term absentees Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Neuer.
Bayern's last defeat against Hoffenheim came in 2020. They have won three out of the four head-to-head games since then and will be confident of avoiding a shock result on Saturday.
