Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The hosts are looking to get closer and enter the top 4 spots.
Borussia Dortmund will welcome TSG Hoffenheim to the Westfalenstadion with a clear intention of recovering from their Champions League heartbreak against Barcelona. With 21 points in 13 games, this is Dortmund’s worst-ever start in the Bundesliga. They have been highly inconsistent this season and have failed to maintain a stable run of form. However, Dortmund boast the best home record in the Bundesliga having scored 19 points at home this season.
TSG Hoffenheim on the other hand are stuck in crisis. The Kraichgauers are nearing the relegation zone, thanks to their miserable run of form this season. They have failed to remain consistent across all competitions and will be seeking a revival on their visit to Dortmund’s fortress. With 13 points from three wins, four draws and six defeats, they are placed 13th in the standings.
