Here's our Hoffenheim vs Dortmund Prediction analysis: Targeting a spot at the league summit, expect a strong performance from Borussia Dortmund when they lock horns with Hoffenheim at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena on Saturday afternoon. Gradually rising up the ranks in Germany, Hoffenheim are now something of a huge force to reckon with in the Bundesliga. With the help of their wealthy owner, a flurry of big-name signings have been completed in recent years, strengthening Die Kraichgauer’s squad.

Last season, they were in inspired form, finishing sixth on the standings to qualify for the group stages of the Europa League. Another campaign already underway, watch these ones push for a top-four spot to book a Champions League ticket.

Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Team News

Clearly one of the top sides in the German Bundesliga, Hoffenheim have been tipped by the bookies to make the cut for continental qualification come season-end. They look well on-course to achieving this, winning two of their first three fixtures.

The highlight of their season so far being the shocking 4-1 victory over reigning champions Bayern Munich, Hoeneb is working wonders at Hoffenheim. They also came out tops in last season’s home game against the Bavarians, posting a 2-1 score on the board.

A couple more wins over Bayern Munich, and Hoffenheim will become their bogey team. Funny how these things work right? Following that emphatic win over the defending champions, Hoffenheim were dealt a huge blow in the subsequent fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Despite taking the lead early on through Kramaric, Hoeneb’s charges succumbed to a narrow 2-1 loss, Frankfurt’s Kamada and Dost coming up with the goods. Still wounded from that defeat, expect a rousing response from Die Kraichgauer this weekend.

Borussia Dortmund will be wary of becoming victims of a Hoffenheim backlash come Saturday afternoon. Just like this matchday’s opposition, Die Borussen have begun their campaign in brilliant fashion, emerging victorious in two of their first three games.

On the last matchday, Dortmund bounced back from an embarrassing 2-0 loss to Augsburg by taking SC Freiburg to the cleaners. Wonderkid Haaland leading by example with two goals, Emre Can and Passlack also got in amongst the goals as Der BVB strolled to success.

Expected to challenge Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title once again, Favre’s men have not put a foot wrong so far. Should the likes of Sancho and Hazard rediscover their form, Hoffenheim will be easily swept aside come kickoff.

Injured or Suspended Players

Hoffenheim vs Dortmund Predictions

This fixture will see two of the league’s best strikers – Kramaric and Haaland – come up against each other. Also, both teams are facing troubles in defense with a number of key names currently missing from the squad.

As such, both defenses will probably be leaky, opening us to the prospect of enjoying a couple of goals. As we cannot draw a line between these two teams, we will hop on the ‘BTTS’ bandwagon, with no less than four goals between them.
