Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund won 1-2 away at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, but crashed out of the DFB Cup after losing to the same opponent 0-1 during midweek.
Now their full focus will be on the Bundesliga, where they chase RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich above them. Going unbeaten in five games (three wins) is a solid run, but beating TSG Hoffenheim could be tricky, considering the good form their opponents are currently in.
Still, they have beaten TSG Hoffenheim four times in the last six games across competitions.
Also, Borussia Dortmund are one of the four Bundesliga sides without a single home defeat this season, having won three and drawn two.
TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim are having their second-best Bundesliga start in history, collecting 23 points from 12 games. They are unbeaten in six straight matches, with five wins, including a 3-0 victory over Augsburg last weekend.
They have the same amount of wins as Borussia Dortmund – 7 wins in 12 Bundesliga games, and a positive goal difference. That’s a stark contrast to how they did at this stage last season.
What impressed me the most about TSG Hoffenheim in recent weeks is that they have scored 3+ goals in 5 of their last 6 Bundesliga victories.
And another amazing fact – TSG Hoffenheim is the best away team in the Bundesliga currently, without a single defeat this season (five wins and two draws in seven away matches).
The Betting Verdict
Borussia Dortmund are big favorites, but we are never certain with them. They tend to disappoint when least expected, and it seems to me they are unable to hold on to even convincing leads.
TSG Hoffenheim are no pushovers by any means. They are fast and strong this season, unbeaten on the road and averaging over 2 goals per match, so they should not be underestimated.
Instead of backing the favorite here, I feel more comfortable backing over 2.5 goals, which is likely to land.
