Hoffenheim vs Dortmund: Preview, Prediction & Betting Tips.

This betting preview contains recent form, possible lineups, injury news, match predictions and betting tips for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund.

Fixture: TSG 1899 Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund League: Bundesliga Venue: Rhein-Neckar Arena Date: Friday, December 16th Kick-off: 19:30 GMT

Betting Preview:

Hoffenheim extended their unbeaten start to the season to 14 matches after their 0-0 draw to Eintracht Frankfurt last time out. On home turf, Hoffenheim have conceded just 6 goals in 7 matches and recorded impressive clean sheets against Hertha Berlin and FC Koln. Dortmund have won just 22% of their away matches this season so will have their work cut out taking three points at the Rhein-Neckar Arena. However, they do have the firepower capable of breaking down Hoffenheim, scoring 2.5+ goals in 8 of their 15 matches this season.

Match Prediction:

The statistics point towards a narrow home victory from Hoffenheim, though it's never that clear cut when you're hosting the likes of Dortmund. The last time the two sides met in Hoffenheim the match has ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams are capable of scoring and there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Hoffenheim's last 10 home games. It's going to be close, there's going to be goals and the home advantage might just be the decisive factor in this one.

Possible Lineups:

Hoffenheim: Baumann; Sule, Vogt, Hubner; Kaderabek, Rupp, Amiri, Toljan; Wagner, Kramaric Dortmund: Weidenfeller; Durm, Bartra, Ginter, Schmelzer; Weigl, Rode, Dembele, Reus, Gotze; Aubameyang
