Dortmund’s Year in Bundesliga?

Second-placed and most in-form team in the Bundesliga, Dortmund travels to play relegation-threatened Hoffenheim on Saturday. Our sportsbook offers the best markets and bonuses for the Bundesliga.

Hoffenheim: Fighting to Avoid Relegation

TSG Hoffenheim parted ways with manager Andre Breitenreiter at the beginning of the month after a poor run of form left the team in a relegation battle. The 49-year-old Breitenreiter joined Hoffenheim in May last year and lead the team in just 22 competitive matches.

After just two days, Hoffenheim hired Pellegrino Matarazzo, who has been without a job since October 2022, signing a contract until June 2025. The American coach failed to win points in his first two games in charge, losing to Leverkusen and Augsburg, with his team sitting 15th in the standings, equal on points with the first relegation side, Bochum. If you’re betting online, you should continue to fade Hoffenheim.

Dortmund: Most In-Form Team in Europe

Eight straight wins across all competitions are not easy when you’re playing in Bundesliga, at least not for Borussia Dortmund, which recorded these numbers at this stage of the 2011-12 season when Jurgen Klopp led BVB to a Bundesliga and Pokal double.

Dortmund has already drawn with Bayern Munich this season in a 2-2 thriller back in October. It lost three of its next six but has re-emerged as a serious title contender after making a perfect start to 2023, with victories over Augsburg, Mainz, Bayer Leverkusen, Freiburg, Werder Bremen, and Hertha Berling.

Jude Bellingham is in the form of his life, while summer signing Sebastien Haller has returned to first-team action after overcoming testicular cancer, scoring his first goal for the club in a thumping 5-1 win over Freiburg. Head coach Edin Terzic can also count on captain Marco Reus and American talent Gio Reyna again, with Dortmund’s players all in their best form.

Able to summon replacements such as Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Mats Hummels, Marco Reus, and Anthony Modeste from among its substitutes speaks of the strength in depth previously unknown to Dortmund in the last five seasons. So having almost no injury issues is a dream for Terzic.

However, Dortmund will have to make do without Karim Adeyemi for the next three weeks after he picked up an injury during the game against Hertha Berlin on Sunday. The forward has made an excellent start to 2023 and found the back of the net in his last four appearances. Even without him, we will continue to include Dortmund in our Bundesliga picks.

Hoffenheim vs Dortmund Head-to-Head

Dortmund is unbeaten in the last five encounters with Hoffenheim, winning four games, including a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture. The visitors won their last eight games across all competitions, including three wins on the road.

Dortmund is in great form, and we expect it to return home with the three points and take advantage of Hoffenheim’s defensive struggles.

Hoffenheim should have the necessary weapons to contribute on the scoresheet, so for better odds, we will combine the moneyline with the goals market.
