Hoffenheim v Dortmund Team News

Hoffenheim, founded in 1899 as a gymnastics club, welcome Dortmund hungry for a second successive win after a 2-0 away win at Union Berlin. That was their first victory in 5 matches.

Coach Alfred Schreuder’s side will have to sweat it out for another win here, a tough call given their opponent’s status. The home fans are a resilient lot and will rally behind their side on this one.

After all, Hoffenheim were a fifth division club 19 years ago and earned promotion to Bundesliga in 2008. The 2017/2018 season was the epitome of their success as they played their debut continental show-piece. Currently, they lie 4 points off a Europa play-off spot and for a side known for sheer resolve and determination, they might ever so slightly emerge victorious - like they did against defending champions at Munich - but it might not be.

The Yellow-and-Black army of Dortmund marches on. Their firing sharp-shooters are certainly not short of ammunition. Unsurprising given the form of their forwards J. Sancho and usual suspect Marco Reus who have a combined 18 goals between them. They can’t seem to stop scoring.

Last weekend though, a rare slip-up saw the side drop points against table-toppers Leipzig in a 3-3 result and they will be looking to stop such complacency with a win here.

Dortmund has amassed an astonishing 40 goals so far this season with only 14 of them coming on the road but against Hoffenheim who are tied with Paderborn on having the worst defense at home, Dortmund will likely figure out a way to crack them.

Injured or Suspended Players:

The home side are a full squad prior to kick off and will relish this clash.

Visitors Dortmund will be missing out on Delaney T.(Ankle Injury), Schmelzer M.(Calf Injury) and Witsel A. out with a facial injury.

Hoffenheim vs Dortmund Predictions

Dortmund have never won at Hoffenheim and while they do seem winners now, it might not be coach Lucien Havre’s time to exorcise those demons. Hoffenheim will definitely not want to slide further in the table and it is very likely points will be shared here to the happiness of all while there are likely to be goals at either end.
