Borussia Dortmund Hoffenheim betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash puts face-to-face two teams that have been campaigning well in the Bundesliga, as they are among the top five and Hoffenheim has one-point advantage over its opponent. The home team usually attack by the flanks and bets heavily on the counterattacks, showing efficiency at the time of concluding, but it has given a lot of space to the opponent, and fails in the containment of counterattacks. Hoffenheim, however, risks a lot from outside the area and stands out in the individual plays, but fails defensively, especially in the aerial game and in the battle against more skillful players. However, by playing at home and having a great offensive power, it is a good option to bet on Borussia Dortmund's victory.

Preview
Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim face at Signal‑Iduna‑Park, in a match for the 17th round of the Bundesliga. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 6 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 06‑05‑2017, in a match for the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund won by (2‑1). The goals of the match were scored by M. Reus (4' ) and P. Aubameyang (82' ), for Borussia Dortmund, and by A. Kramarić (86' and 86' ), for Hoffenheim. Although this is a match between 6th and 5th of the league table, it’s actually a match between the 15th best in home matches and the 9th best in away matches.

Analysis Dortmund

The home team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 25 points won, after 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Werder Bremen, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in an away match against Mainz 05, by (0‑2). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 15 points in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 10 conceded, against 10 points won at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 13 conceded. In the last 7 home league matches Borussia Dortmund has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, so they have won 10 points out of 21 possible.

They haven’t won any of the last 4 home matches for this competition. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 19 of the last 28 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 16 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 4 home matches for all competitions there are 3 periods that stand out: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (16'‑30'); they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (76'‑90') and 3 of their 8 goals between (61'‑75').

Borussia Dortmund enters the field for this game, a little more relieved after they have managed to win again for the German Championship, stopping a fast that lasted eight rounds, a period in which they suffered five defeats. At the time, the team had a great performance against Mainz, especially in defensive terms, and managed to win the three points away from home. Despite the long time without winning, the team still has the best attack of the competition, with an average of 2.31 goals per game. In addition, the team stands out for having the second best rate of completed passes, being also the second that most finished in the championship. Playing at home, Borussia Dortmund owns the fourth worst campaign, and in this condition has one of the four most leaked defenses. For this bout, the coach should not have major embezzlements.

Confirmed Lineup: Roman Bürki, Jeremy Toljan, Marcel Schmelzer, Sokratis, Ömer Toprak, Raphaël Guerreiro, Julian Weigl, Shinji Kagawa, Christian Pulišić, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Andriy Yarmolenko.
Coach: E. Terzic.

Analysis Hoffenheim

The away team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 7 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Hannover 96, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Stuttgart, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 8 points in away matches and 18 points at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 7 goals conceded at home, against 11 goals scored and 13 conceded in away matches. In the last 7 away league matches Hoffenheim has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 21 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 23 of the last 25 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Hoffenheim tries to repeat away from home the recent success in the last home matches, where it has won the last two matches, while away from its supporters the team comes from two defeats for the German Championship. In the last round, the team played a balanced game against Stuttgart, but managed to hold the attack and reached the goal in the final minutes. Although the score is not elastic, the team still has one of the best attacks of the competition, with twenty-six goals scored in sixteen games, showing great quality in the exchange of passes. Away from home, the team has won less than 40% of the points it has played so far. The 3-1-4-2 has been the tactical formation most used by the coach, who should keep Kaderábek among the eleven initials.

Confirmed Lineup: Oliver Baumann, Pavel Kadeřábek, Kevin Vogt, Stefan Posch, Benjamin Hübner, Steven Zuber, Kerem Demirbay, Florian Grillitsch, Serge Gnabry, Nadiem Amiri, Mark Uth.
Coach: A. Breitenreiter.
