(40.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe’re backing a Bayern clean sheet: they’ve conceded just 18 goals in 20 matches, kept 8 clean sheets, and shut out Hoffenheim in two of their last three meetings. Hoffenheim have struggled for firepower on the road, and Bayern\u2019s defensive solidity at home is clear.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(42.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here: Bayern average a massive 3.7 goals per game, with their last three head-to-heads producing at least four goals each. Hoffenheim also contribute at over two goals per game, so the numbers support a high-scoring affair.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
