Fifth placed Hoffenheim will be at home to welcome sixth placed Borussia Dortmund in their next Bundesliga game. One point separates these two sides coming into this game. Here, hosts Hoffenheim will be seeking to extend the good run they’ve had lately. They arrive for this game on the back of four straight wins, the most recent a 2-0 triumph away to Union Berlin. This win also came with Hoffenheim’s first clean sheet of the season, having failed in the opening five matches. Pelegrino Matarazzo’s side started the league season with a home loss to Freiburg. That came after a win in the German Cup first round, and they’ve progressed to win four straight league games. In each of their last four league matches, Hoffenheim have been able to score at least two goals. Each of their matches this season has had over 2.5 goals with both sides scoring in five of six. Maximilian Beier has been one of their great performers so far, with four goals in five league games. The German youngster has teamed up with experienced Andrej Kramaric to score seven goals in total. The two will definitely be on show here again.

Borussia Dortmund will come into this game unbeaten in six meetings with Hoffenheim. They’ve won five of those and drawn one. Marco Reus will like this fixture, having scored three in their last six meetings. The forward was on the mark in Dortmund’s last game as they beat Wolfsburg 1-0 at home. He will be looking to add to his tally of two goals so far this season. Both his goals were scored inside the last three matches and he will hope to ride on that form. Dortmund’s only defeat this season came in the Champions League, as they fell 2-0 to PSG. It was also the first time this season that they failed to score. In their opening seven games, Dortmund have two clean sheets. Both teams have scored in four of Borussia Dortmund’s last seven matches. In three of their last four matches, Dortmund have conceded more than a goal.
