Team News

Hoffenheim
Borussia Dortmund
  • Dennis Geiger has problems with his adductors, while Marco John and Bambasé Conté are both not being rushed back from injury.
  • Thomas Meunier would likely have been sold but suffered a muscle injury in pre-season and will be out for several weeks. Injury-prone Mateu Morey will be out for several weeks with his next knee injury, while Marcel Sabitzer is struggling with his adductors.

Prediction

  • 5th placed Hoffenheim are on a run of four straight wins and showing a real improvement on last season.
  • Unbeaten Dortmund have scored in their last 25 Bundesliga games and have not featured in a goalless Bundesliga draw in 132 games, since October 2019 against Schalke in fact.
  • Dortmund did the double over Hoffenheim last season, winning both by the narrowest of margins 1-0.
  • Both teams should find the net, but in-form Hoffenheim have the quality to snatch the three points and put BVB coach Edin Terzic under serious pressure.
