On Sunday afternoon, Dortmund hosts Hoffenheim at Signal Iduna Park as the home team looks to boost their top-four hopes in the Bundesliga.
Dortmund unbeaten in ten gamesBVB are unbeaten in their last ten matches in all competitions. Their previous two games have ended all square, including a 1-1 midweek Champions League draw at PSV Eindhoven.
Dortmund are also unbeaten in their last eight games in the Bundesliga. A 1-1 draw at Wolfsburg last time out has slightly hindered BVB’s top-four challenge.
Edin Terzic’s team is currently in fourth place in the table, five points adrift of third-place Stuttgart, and just one point clear of fifth-place RB Leipzig.
Die Schwarzgelben has a decent recent home record in the Bundesliga, having won six of their last nine league games on home soil.
Their recent home matches in the German top-flight have been entertaining, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine home matches.
Hoffenheim is in a big slumpThe visitors are winless in their last nine games in the Bundesliga. However, a 1-0 home defeat by Union Berlin last time out ended a run of three straight draws for Hoffenheim.
Despite their poor recent league form, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team is still fighting for the European spots, as they are six points adrift of the top-six in the Bundesliga.
Their recent outings in the German top flight have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league matches.
Hoffenheim are winless in six games on their travels in the Bundesliga. A 2-2 draw at Wolfsburg in their last five away games in the league ended a four-game losing streak for the visitors.
One of Hoffenheim’s significant weaknesses on their travels has been at the back, as they have conceded at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches on their travels.
What am I backing?Dortmund haven’t been great lately, but they tend to be strong at Signal Iduna Park, while Hoffenheim are poor travellers. The bet I am backing is the home win.
