Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Live Stats & Betting Odds
Hoffenheim Prediction – Can Hoffenheim build on midweek win?
A midweek 2-0 win away from home at Union Berlin put a stop to Hoffenheim’s recent decline and prevented a dismal 4-match sequence without a win in the Bundesliga from becoming even worse as Hoffenheim grabbed a much needed three points on their travels.
However, despite returning to their PreZero Arena for this upcoming clash, it doesn’t get any easier for Hoffenheim as 4th placed Borussia Dortmund are the visitors and they’ll be keen to consolidate their current top four position in the Bundesliga.
Hoffenheim had previously stumbled to defeats against Mainz 5-1, RB Leipzig 3-1 and a 4-2 loss to Augsburg, so they did well to respond in positive fashion on the road in Berlin during the week but will face a tough test at home this Friday night.
An out of sorts looking home record of 3-1-4 12/18 includes failing to win their last three matches at home, losing 2 of these 3 matches while their record against Dortmund isn’t great – the hosts have won just 1 of the last 13 meetings against their visitors.
Borussia Dortmund Prediction – Can Dortmund extend unbeaten run?
A 3-3 draw with high-flying RB Leipzig during the week in the German top flight extended Borussia Dortmund’s unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to 5 matches as they maintained their challenge for a top four finish in the domestic top flight.
Following a 4-0 mauling away from home at the hands of Bayern Munich in mid-November, Dortmund have since bounced back with wins against Hertha Berlin, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Mainz as well as picking up points in draws with Paderborn and RB Leipzig, both in 3-3 draws.
Results away from home have also picked up in recent times as the visitors have won their last two matches on the trot at the aforementioned Hertha Berlin and Mainz and have lost just 1 of their last 6 matches on the road amidst an overall away record of 3-3-2 14/13.
As mentioned earlier, Dortmund have held the upper hand over Hoffenheim in previous exchanges and they should just about edge this clash tonight as they look to move up into 3rd place ahead of this weekend’s Bundesliga action.
Key-Facts – Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund
- Hoffenheim have gone 3 home matches without a win in the Bundesliga

Betting Tips Verdict
