Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Betting Tips | Bundesliga

27^th August – 20:30, Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim will open the Bundesliga 3^rd round action with a Friday evening clash. The home side looks for improvement after a failure in their latest match, while the visitors want to continue their unbeatable run.

Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Match Preview & Team News

The hosts made a strong start to the new campaign by beating Eintracht Frankfurt 5:2 in the opening round. Erling Haaland put another brilliant performance by scoring a brace and setting up the other three goals. However, that game indicated that Marco Rose’s side will still need some improvements in the back. Those suspicions came clearly visible in the 3:1 Super Cup defeat against Bayern Munich, while BVB was beaten again last weekend. They went on a trip to Freiburg and got back home empty-handed after a 2:1 defeat. Borussia Dortmund needs to stop spilling points in matches where they are strong favorites if they don’t want to give up on their title aspirations at the beginning of the campaign.

On the other hand, Hoffenheim enjoys a solid start after a disappointing last season. The away side was very confident in the season opener by celebrating a convincing 4:0 win away to Augsburg. However, they missed the opportunity to pick up another three points last weekend. Sebastian Hoeness’ side had a 2:1 halftime lead against Union Berlin but earned just a draw. They struggled a lot with injuries during the previous campaign, and that resulted in an 11^th-place finish. However, Hoffenheim wants to challenge the top six spots this time and return to the continental competitions.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Borussia Dortmund showed its flaws in the previous two matches, but the hosts need to get back on the winning track. Although Hoffenheim is a tricky opponent, we believe BVB will meet the expectations and win this encounter.

Goals Market Prediction

These two sides usually produce high-scoring matches when they meet each other. We saw at least three goals in their last seven encounters at Signal Iduna Park, and this one shouldn’t be much different. Since the odds at Over 2.5 are slim, we might see at least two goals by halftime.
