Hoffenheim team news

While defender Koki Machida remains sidelined with a knee injury, forward Adam Hlozek is ruled out due to an ankle problem.

Fisnik Asllani bagged a brace in the Berlin win, where Tim Lemperle was directly involved in two goals, after Andrej Kramaric opened the floodgates late in the first half.

Bayern Munich team news

For Bayern, Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies are ruled out with ankle and knee injuries, respectively. Josip Stanisic is a doubt.

Just as in the 5-0 league win ahead of the Chelsea game, it is anticipated that head coach Vincent Kompany will manage game time for the likes of Harry Kane and Serge Gnabry.
