Hoffenheim v Borussia Dortmund

Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Just one point separates fifth placed hosts, Hoffenheim, from their upcoming sixth placed visitors, Borussia Dortmund, ahead of this keenly anticipated clash in the German Bundesliga on Friday night when the two teams lock horns at the PreZero Arena with a valuable three points up for grabs for both sides.

Although they were handed a disappointing 2-1 defeat at home on the opening day of the new Bundesliga season, Hoffenheim have quickly got into their stride by putting together an impressive four-match winning streak which has seen the hosts register important wins against Heidenheim, Wolfsburg, FC Cologne and Union Berlin respectively.

However, Hoffenheim's biggest test in this new domestic top flight season looks to be in the shape of upcoming visitors, Borussia Dortmund, who still remain unbeaten in the early stages of this new season.

It's also worth mentioning that prior to this improved sequence of four wins on the trot, Hoffenheim had previously struggled to collect results on a consistent basis as the hosts had managed to capture just two wins from their preceding eight matches overall in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund are only one point behind their hosts ahead of this Friday night clash at the PreZero Arena and the visitors are one of only four clubs remaining that have still yet to taste defeat in this season's Bundesliga campaign.

Three wins and two draws have given Dortmund a solid base from which to work from and includes wins against FC Cologne, Freiburg and Wolfsburg while also picking up useful points in draws with Bochum and Heidenheim, so the visitors will also be in confident mood as they prepare for this upcoming trip.

The bigger picture shows Borussia Dortmund's solid and consistent form in the German top flight as Edin Terzic's side are unbeaten in each of their previous 13 league matches which includes eight wins in the process thus giving Dortmund a real chance of grabbing another useful win on the road on Friday night.

Indeed, Borussia Dortmund have suffered just the one defeat in their last 11 outings on the road and having recorded six wins and four draws as well within this sequence of away games, Borussia Dortmund look to have a great chance of adding to their points tally here.

Hoffenheim v Borussia Dortmund Verdict

Despite bringing some impressive winning momentum into this Friday night clash, Hoffenheim still look to have a tough task awaiting them in the shape of Borussia Dortmund despite holding home advantage as previous history is firmly in Dortmund's favour ahead of this clash.

Borussia Dortmund have won each of the last four meetings on the trot against Hoffenheim and the visitors look in good shape to make it five wins on the trot on Friday night.
