Match preview: Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund
Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund will face off at the Prezero Arena in this 31st round Bundesliga clash. In their previous encounter on 15 December 2024, the teams played to a 1-1 draw. The recent head-to-head record favours the visiting side, with Borussia Dortmund winning 6 of the last 8 encounters, drawing once, and losing once. The home/away form is noteworthy, considering Hoffenheim sits 15th and Dortmund 7th in the overall standings, meaning this match features the 13th-ranked team at home against the 13th-ranked away team.
Team analysis: Hoffenheim
Following 7 wins, 9 draws, and 14 losses, Hoffenheim finds itself in 15th position with 30 points. They suffered a defeat against SC Freiburg (3-2) in their last outing but had previously secured a home win against FSV Mainz 05 (2-0). Their performance is not significantly impacted by the home advantage, as they have produced similar results at home and away. In the current campaign, Hoffenheim has acquired 11 points from 30 available, with 2 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 home matches. The most common scoreline at halftime during their home fixtures has been 0-1 (6 out of 15 matches). Defensively, Hoffenheim has struggled, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 games, though they have found the net in 8 of those matches as well. Goals are a recurring theme in their home games, with 14 out of the last 15 encounters concluding with over 1.5 goals. Out of the 30 fixtures this season, the team conceded the first goal 19 times and has managed to turn the match around only twice.
Hoffenheim heads into this fixture with reduced morale following the aforementioned defeat to SC Freiburg, where their goals came from Marius Bülter and Andrej Kramaric. Under the guidance of Christian Ilzer, they are likely to lineup in a dynamic 3-4-3 formation, focusing on wing play and quick combinations in the final third. Andrej Kramaric and Tom Bischof, alongside the impactful Gift Orban, will be pivotal in attack, likely causing headaches for the opposing defence. Missing from this match will be Leo Østigård due to suspension, as well as Christopher Lenz, Grischa Prömel, Ihlas Drank, Diadié Samassékou, Ozan Kabak, and Alexander Prass, all of whom are experiencing physical issues.
Team analysis: Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund is currently positioned 7th in the league, amassing 45 points from 13 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses. They recently drew with FC Bayern Munich (2-2) in their penultimate match, before winning 3-2 at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach in their last outing. The team’s performance is heavily influenced by the home advantage; they have secured 15 points as visitors compared to 30 at home, scoring 37 goals and conceding 19 while netting 20 and conceding 28 on the road. Over their last 10 league fixtures, Borussia Dortmund has recorded 4 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, gaining 14 points from a possible 30. The defence has shown vulnerability, conceding in 8 of the last 10 games, but the attack has been consistently potent, scoring in 7 of those 10. The trend indicates that there are often goals in their away matches, with 14 of their last 15 fixtures ending with over 1.5 goals. Out of 30 games this season, they managed to come from behind only 3 times when they conceded first. Notably, in their last 15 away games, they have scored 7 of their 20 goals between the 61st and 75th minutes.
Borussia Dortmund enters this fixture buoyed by a recent victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-2), with goals from Serhou Guirassy, Felix Nmecha, and Daniel Svensson. Under the interim management of Niko Kovac, Dortmund typically deploys a 4-3-3 formation that utilises rapid transitions, particularly down the flanks. Their main attacking threats are Jamie Gittens, Karim Adeyemi, and Serhou Guirassy, who are tasked with creating and finalising opportunities in the final third. However, they will be without Marcel Sabitzer and Nico Schlotterbeck due to suspensions.
