Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund will square off in an early German Bundesliga kickoff on Saturday at Rhein-Neckar Arena. Hoffenheim are fighting to avoid relegation this season, sitting eight points above the 16th-placed Heidenheim. While they are most likely to avoid the drop, Christian Ilzer's men will want to finish as high as possible and have something to build on ahead of next season. Still, it has been a disappointing season, following a seventh-place finish last year.
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund is within striking distance of playing UEFA Champions League football next season. Niko Kovac's men are seventh in the standings with 45 points after going on a four-match unbeaten run. They are just four points behind the fourth-placed RB Leipzig and only two points behind the sixth-placed Mainz. Borussia must secure maximum points in this match to boost their hopes of qualifying for European football next season.
