Bavarian Podcast Works S7E48: Leon Goretzka will play a key role for Germany; Julian Nagelsmann almost moved back to Bayern Munich (!?); Should Bayern wait to splurge until next summer; Lamenting cautionary tales of failure; and MORE!

On this episode, we give a preview of where Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin are respectively at this point in the season and how the two teams will match-up on the pitch. As always, the key for Bayern Munich is who Hansi Flick rolls out in his XI and how those players meld on the pitch. As for Hertha Berlin, well, this week might not help the rut that they have been in. Stay tuned, though for Pine Tree Garden’s FC Bayern fan song, “Münchens Liebe, mein Verein.”Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, we take a look at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim who are currently 11th in the Bundesliga with a 6-4-8 record and 22 points. Today, Jake & Tom take a more in-depth look at our opponents from Sinsheim. They’re not scoring many goals outside of their Croatian sensation Andrej Kramaric which has led them to have the 9th worst goal scoring total in the league. Their defense has been anchored by players like Kevin Vogt, but he recently joined a long list of injuries which could put their hopes for points in jeopardy. However, midfielders such as Christoph Baumgartner could be key difference makers as Hoffenheim looks to control the midfield against the Bavarians once again. As always, thank you for listening!
