The emotions of the German Bundesliga return this weekend when the teams get ready to fight for the 3 points on matchday 17 of the 2023/24 season. After almost 3 weeks of winter break, the German clubs return to the pitch to continue their respective battles.
The struggle for first place in the standings is raging as Bayer Leverkusen remains undefeated this season, being the only team in the 5 major European leagues that does not know defeat in the local tournament. However, Bayern is only 4 points behind (with one less game played), so, from now on, we will have tension day after day.
Now, this matchday 17 of the Bundesliga will be started by the great game between Bayern München and Hoffenheim.

Why Bet on Bayern?
Tuchel’s Bayern is a pretty weird team. One day, they look like the best team in the world and the other, they get taken out from the Pokal by a team from lower divisions (while featuring their starters). Not even the best team in the world could indeed win every game. However, we still don’t feel they are quite where they want to be in terms of performance, even with a machine in front like Harry Kane.
Currently, the Bavarians are in second place in the standings with a record of 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. While many may claim that this record is phenomenal, then again, it’s not their best.
Bayern arrive at this matchday after winning 4 of the last 5 matches they have played, but, they are still 4 points behind Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the table. Therefore, they cannot waver from now on, because they could move much further away from their goal.
The Bavarians arrive at this matchday after a victory against Wolfsburg with a score of 2-1.
Why Bet on Hoffenheim?
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, has pleasantly surprised many in the Bundesliga, as they had a spectacular start to the season, winning several matches and positioning themselves in the top area of the table.
However, as expected, the team began to lower the intensity and the pace of the game to the point that, in the last 5 matches they have played, they have only accumulated 1 victory. Due to this, the club dropped to seventh place in the standings with a record of 7 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses.
This team is still close to European places, as they are only 3 points away from Borussia Dortmund in fifth place. However, they need that regularity and that determination again to win consecutive matches.
Hoffenheim arrives at this 17th matchday of the Bundesliga after an unexpected draw against Darmstadt with a score of 3-3.
