Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Match Preview and Team News
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund will be back home to host Hoffenheim in the fifth round of matches in the Bundesliga, as both teams look to go top. The two sides are tied on nine points and placed fourth and fifth in the league standings, also tying on goal difference. Hosts Dortmund is coming from a 1-0 away win over Hertha Berlin, recovery from their shock home loss to Werder Bremen. They have scored in all their five matches across all competitions this season, but they have only managed clean sheets in half of the six games. Jude Bellingham has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Karim Adeyemi enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has problems. Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzić to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Sébastien Haller (Testicular Cancer) will miss out.
