Borussia Dortmund vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

• Dortmund have won their last two home games.
• Hoffenheim are winless in eight.
• Hoffenheim have scored in 10 of their 11 Bundesliga trips.

BVB can see off stuttering Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim were involved in the fight for Europe earlier in the season but an eight-game winless run has ended those hopes, and they are unlikely to half that slide at the Westfalenstadion.

Dortmund are coming into the game after a Tuesday night Champions League game but they should be fired up for this clash as they bid to secure a top four finish and a place in Europe’s top competition next season.

BVB have won seven of their 11 home league games and should be able to secure maximum points, but Hofenheim can at least get on the scoresheet.

The visitors may be winless in eight (D4, L4) but they have scored in six of those games, and they have only failed to score in one of their 11 league trips – hitting 21 goals on the road in total.

A home win with both teams to score is therefore the main bet and a 3-1 home win appeals. Dortmund have scored exactly three goals in their last two home games, while Hoffenheim have conceded three in three of their last four trips – but haven’t conceded more than three goals in any game this season.

Donyell Malen scored for BVB in the draw with PSV and he heads into the game in fine form. The Dutchman hit a brace in his last league appearance and has five goals in his last five games across all competitions, so back him to add to his account against Hoffenheim.
