Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (7 December)

Still in the shadow of Bayern Munich for years, Borussia Dortmund undoubtedly does not have the means to claim the Meisterschale this season. However, with 25 points on the clock, the residents of Signal Iduna Park do not have to be ashamed of their record after the first 12 days but they are already considerably behind the Bavarian leader by 9 points. The Borussen were notably held to a draw by Hamburg 1-1 and Stuttgart 3-3 before moving forward last weekend in the clash against Bayer Leverkusen 1-2. Niko Kovac's players face this same team again on Tuesday in the 1/8 finals of the German Cup. For their part, Hoffenheim is not far from their opponent of the day since they are only 2 points behind before this duel.

Consequently, TSG has the opportunity to overtake Borussia if it wins today and therefore why not climb onto the podium. It would be a great reward for this team which has won 5 of its last 6 Bundesliga matches. After being able to defeat Sankt Pauli 0-3, Heidenheim 3-1, Wolfsburg 2-3 and Leipzig 3-1, Hoffe's players were held back by Mainz 1-1. But they quickly moved forward, winning against Augsburg 3-0 last weekend. 

Executive defender Süle will still not be restored for this meeting. Uncertain for the reception of Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday evening, striker Beier (2 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga) is still not sure of being able to play this match. Consequently, Niko Kovac can count on an almost complete group for this part. At the forefront, star striker Guirassy (5 goals in the Bundesliga; 3 goals, 2 assists in C1) should retain the confidence of his coach even if he has been a little less effective in recent weeks. At his side, we should find the formidable Adeyemi (4 goals in the Bundesliga; 2 goals, 2 assists in C1) who scored last weekend. TSG will travel to the lair of Borussia Dortmund without the tricolor Gendrey, the defender Behrens, the summer recruit Machida and the unused Frees.

On the way back, striker Hlozek (2nd top scorer last season) is hoped for after missing the last day. Otherwise, the attackers of this formation will be present. We think of Asllani (5 goals, 1 assist), Lemperle (4 goals), Touré (2 goals, 3 assists), Kramaric (2 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga), Prömel (4 goals, 1 assist) and finally Burger (3 goals, 2 assists). The probable line-ups for Borussia Dortmund - Hoffenheim: Borussia Dortmund: Kobel - Anton, Can, Schlotterbeck - Ryerson, Sabitzer, Nmecha, Svensson - Adeyemi, Guirassy, ​​Chuckwuemeka.

• Summary: Borussia Dortmund is going head to head with TSG Hoffenheim starting on 7 Dec 2025 at 16:30 UTC at Signal Iduna Park stadium, Dortmund city, Germany. The match is a part of the Bundesliga .
