Good afternoon and welcome to the live commentary of the Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Hoffenheim at Allianz Arena.
Bayern enter the contest with momentum after their 7-2 hammering of Tottenham during the week in the Champions League. Serge Gnabry notched four strikes in the victory in north London and he will be aiming to continue his impressive form. Niko Kovac's men are unbeaten in their six Bundesliga matches thus far, although they had to grind out their win last time out against Paderborn to remain in top spot.
BAYERN (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; Joshua Kimmich, Niklas Sule, Jerome Boateng, Benjamin Pavard; Corentin Tolisso, Thiago Alcantara; Kingsley Coman, Philippe Coutinho, Serge Gnabry; Robert Lewandowski.
BAYERN SUBS: Javi Martinez, Michael Cuisance, Ivan Perisic, Alphonso Davies, Thomas Muller, Sven UIreich, Lars Lukas Mai.
HOFFENHEIM (3-5-2): Oliver Baumann; Stefan Posch, Kevin Akpoguma, Benjamin Hubner; Pavel Kaderabek, Sebastian Rudy, Florian Grillitsch, Dennis Geiger, Robert Skov; Ihlas Bebou, Sargis Adamyan.
HOFFENHEIM SUBS: Joshua Brenet, Ermin Bicakcic, Konstantinos Stafylidis, Havard Nordtveit, Lukas Rupp, Philipp Pentke, Christoph Baumgartner, Lucas Ribeiro, Jurgen Locadia.
Hoffenheim are not enjoying life following the departure of Julian Nagelsmann. They've taken five points from their opening six matches of the term, but are currently on a four-game winless run. Alfred Schreuder's side were beaten 3-0 at home last week by Borussia Monchengladbach and need a response this afternoon.
Bayern scored seven goals during the week against Tottenham, but have not been clinical enough in the final third this afternoon. Robert Lewandowski has not looked himself, while the deliveries from the wide areas have not been precise. Niko Kovac will be looking for an improvement from his team in the second half.
Bayern are next in action against Augsburg on the road when the Bundesliga returns on October 19, while Hoffenheim play Schalke at home on October 20.
Thanks for joining our commentary this afternoon. Until next time, goodbye.
