Jamal Musiala picked up a brace on Friday as hosts FC Bayern München defeated visitors TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 3:0. Musiala’s first goal came in the 18th minute, thanks to an assist from Leroy Sané, and the second goal came in the 70th minute, and was again assisted by Sané. The game’s final goal came courtesy of Harry Kane, in the 90th minute, with a low finish. Prior to the game, the Allianz Arena paid tribute to one of the club’s greats, Franz Beckenbauer, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 78. Beckenbauer was the first player to captain a team to 3 consecutive European Cups, between 1974 and 1976. Musiala’s opener also set a record, as Bayern have scored at least once in each of their last 65 home games, which is a new high for the club. The match was the first time in 20 games that Hoffenheim have failed to score, ending their own club record of 19 consecutive matches with at least 1 goal each. Bayern’s biggest competitor this season, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, will travel to Augsburg on Saturday. Leverkusen are the league’s only unbeaten club left in the current season, and have dropped points just 3 times across 16 matches. They are also leading Europe’s clubs in average 2.625 points per game, and are enjoying the longest run of competitive matches without defeat to start a season in German history: 25 in all competitions. Leverkusen’s hosts on Saturday have not done as well, having picked up just 1 win in their first 7 league games before replacing Enrico Maaßen with Jess Throup. The change did result in a 6-match unbeaten streak, but that was followed by a pickup of just 1 point in their next 3 matches. Nevertheless, the club remains in 11th place and is 8 points clear of the relegation zone. Saturday’s late match is between hosts SV Darmstadt 98 and visitors Borussia Dortmund, the latter having made 2 key personnel changes during the winter break. Dortmund signed Dutch full-back Ian Maatsen on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season, and is expected to debut on Saturday. Maatsen joined Chelsea from PSV Eindhoven’s youth academy when he turned 16 in 2018, but had only made 12 appearances for the Blues this season. Dortmund also signed Jadon Sancho, who is making his return to Signal Iduna Park from Manchester United. Sancho originally joined Dortmund in August 2017 from Manchester City, and went on to have a role in 108 goals (50 goals, 58 assists) across 137 appearances for the club in all competitions. Looking ahead to Sunday, get ready for a close match between VfL Bochum 1848 and SV Werder Bremen, who are tied on points in the table with 16 apiece, 6 clear of the relegation zone.
