Predicted Bayern Munich XI vs Hoffenheim – Harry Kane & Co. look to close the gap to Bayer Leverkusen | OneFootball

Bayern Munich will look to close the gap to leaders Bayer Leverkusen on Friday night when they host Hoffenheim at the Allianz Arena, as the Bundesliga resumes following the winter break.

Thomas Tuchel will be without Kim Min-jae, who is representing South Korea at the Asia Cup, which will see Matthijs de Ligt come into central defence, while Serge Gnabry is sidelined. But other than that, the Rekordmeister have an almost full strength squad available.

Eric Dier arrived at the club on Thursday evening and is likely to find himself a place on the bench while both Raphaël Guerreiro and Kingsley Coman both remain options. Konrad Laimer has also resumed training and could feature at some point.

With 21 goals and five assists in 15 Bundesliga games, Harry Kane will lead the line for Bayern.
