Dortmund demands Hoffenheim: game of fate in Signal Iduna Park!

This Sunday, December 7th, 2025, there is an exciting duel in the Bundesliga on the agenda: Borussia Dortmund welcomes TSG 1899 Hoffenheim at Signal Iduna Park. Kick-off is at 5:30 p.m. While Dortmund is currently in third place in the table with 25 points, Hoffenheim is in fifth place with 23 points.

The starting position could hardly be more exciting. Dortmund have only lost one of their last 20 Bundesliga games and are in impressive form this season. On average, BVB scores 1.75 goals per game and has scored a total of 21 goals. In addition, Dortmund have not lost in nine home games - a series that is only bettered by Bayern with 11 games. What's also interesting is that Dortmund were only behind for 91 minutes this season, which is the lowest in Europe's top five leagues.

As far as statistics are concerned, Dortmund has won eight of eleven league games against Hoffenheim since the 2020/21 season, scoring an average of 2.4 points per game. This puts the betting odds in favor of the hosts: According to the current calculations, the probability of a Dortmund victory is 64.2 percent. Betting friends reports that BVB must focus on a strong start to keep Hoffenheim, who are unbeaten in their last six games (5 wins, 1 draw), at bay.

Dortmund's defensive problems and Hoffenheim's offense

Despite their strong record, Dortmund have conceded goals in four of their last five home games. Defense was also an issue in the direct duels, as Hoffenheim have let in goals in each of the last five games against BVB. Hoffenheim, on the other hand, are currently in impressive form and are having their second best season since 2008/09. Coach Christian Ilzer can rely on an offensive line that has caused quite a stir in the last few games.

Dortmund are missing important players like Niklas Süle, while Hoffenheim has several absences, including Adam Hložek and Machida. The expected lineups suggest an open game: Dortmund will line up in the usual 4-2-3-1, while Hoffenheim could line up in 4-3-1-2. The BVB fans are hoping for another home win, especially since Dortmund's pressing is active with 161 high pressing actions, which could put Hoffenheim's defense under pressure.

Conclusion and betting tips

The betting experts recommend betting on a goal for both teams and an over/under bet on more than 2.5 goals. The betting odds hover around 1.60-1.65 for Dortmund and 4.75-4.90 for Hoffenheim.
