Despite their stay at the top of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich remains cautious of the competition form other sides. Hence, a trip to the Rhein Neckar Stadium will be an appealing task to extend their lead as they take on side Hoffenheim. The match schedules for 29th February with kickoff at 17:30 GMT.
Bayern Munich will be coming off a successful first league win against Chelsea in the Champions League fixture. The side saw a 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, which could help the side advance past the knockout stage.
