Borussia Dortmund Preview – Will Dortmund return to winning ways at home?
Borussia Dortmund have made a solid start to the new season, winning four of their opening five league and cup matches. In the Bundesliga, the Black and Yellows have accrued nine points from a possible 12 and sit joint third.
Borussia were on the losing end of a five-goal thriller with Werder Bremen in their previous league fixture at Signal Iduna Park. They were two goals up in the 89th minute, but three late efforts won the points for Bremen. Edin Terzic’s boys managed to bounce back with a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Hertha Berlin last weekend.
This season, Borussia Dortmund will be hoping to close the gap on Bayern Munich, who have been the dominant force in Germany in recent times. Can they move on to 12 points with victory on Friday?
Hoffenheim Preview – Can the visitors keep up unbeaten run?
Hoffenheim have also started the season in strong fashion. They were beaten by Borussia Monchengladbach on the opening weekend, losing 3-1 away from home. However, Andre Breitenreiter’s side have responded with three straight wins.
Hoffenheim were outstanding in their last away match, leaving Bayer Leverkusen with an impressive 3-0 win. Christoph Baumgartner, Andrej Kramaric and Georginio Rutter got the goals in that one. The side from Sinsheim followed that up with a 1-0 home win over Augsburg last Saturday.
