Hoffenheim’s Form

Hoffenheim is in excellent recent form. Their most recent triumph was a 2-0 win on the road against Union Berlin.

Pelegrino Matarazzo’s squad had a shaky start this year, with a home loss to Freiburg. But, they have since rebounded, winning four consecutive league games. Notably, in each of their last four league outings, Hoffenheim has managed to score a minimum of two goals.

Their matches this season have consistently featured over 2.5 goals, with both teams finding the net in five of the six encounters. Maximilian Beier has been a standout performer, notching four goals in five league games. He seems to be forming a formidable partnership with the experienced Andrej Kramaric. Together they amassed a total of seven goals so far, and they are expected to shine in this fixture once again.

Borussia Dortmund’s Form

After a thrilling finish to the previous season, Borussia Dortmund does not appear to be strong contenders for the title this time around. Edin Terzic’s team hasn’t displayed exceptional performance in the Bundesliga. But, they have been consistently earning points. Notably, they remain unbeaten at home.

Reus comes into this fixture in high spirits, having netted in Dortmund’s recent 1-0 home victory over Wolfsburg. He aims to build on this form, as he has already scored two goals in the current season, both in the last three matches.

Dortmund’s only defeat this season came in the Champions League, a 2-0 loss to PSG, marking their first instance of failing to score. In their seven opening games, Dortmund managed to secure two clean sheets. It’s worth noting that in four of Borussia Dortmund’s last seven matches, both teams found the back of the net. Also, they have conceded more than one goal in three of their last four matches.
