❌ No Dortmund player, next Bundesliga star warns Bayern | OneFootball

What HSV can do, TSG Hoffenheim can certainly do as well. For example, securing a point against Bayern. Maybe even more?

In line with this motto, TSG key player Grischa Prömel expressed his thoughts in an interview with 'Sky' in the week leading up to the clash with FC Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

He referred not only to the upcoming duel on Sunday but also to the overall championship race in the Bundesliga. As a reminder: Borussia Dortmund is in second place, six points behind the leaders, followed by Hoffenheim, nine points behind Bayern.

"We hope we can make it exciting," Prömel explained to 'Sky'. At times, it seemed as if Bayern would completely dominate, he admitted. However, he himself is a fan of keeping things exciting for as long as possible.

He then made a promise to the TSG fans and, in a way, to everyone who wishes for a real championship race in the Bundesliga: "We will do everything in our power to keep it alive."

The 31-year-old was indeed impressed by the quality of the record champions, who sometimes play in their own league and have a squad full of world-class players. At the same time, the midfielder urged his team not to hide: "We are still unbeaten this year."

With five wins from five games, TSG can travel to Munich with confidence. "We are convinced that we can hold our ground in Munich," said Prömel.

Now it remains to be seen to what extent this confidence will be justified on Sunday at 5:30 PM and whether TSG will indeed have a say in the title race.
