THE PREDICTION
Hoffenheim won 4-0 on their last visit to Signal-Iduna-Park on the final day of last season and they have shown glimpses of that ability this season, but those glimpses have been too rare in what has been an erratic campaign disrupted by injuries and coronavirus. Sebastian Hoeness’ men arrive here following back-to-back defeats but they have not suffered three successive Bundesliga losses since August 2019. Borussia Dortmund have problems of their own having lost three of their last four league matches, and they will be desperate to get back into form with a busy few weeks coming up as the Champions League resumes next week. Unusually, the Black and Yellows have also recorded just one clean sheet in their last 14 league games while the visitors have failed to find the net in just one of their last 17 on the road, so Both Teams To Score - which has happened in 10 of the last 12 Bundesliga meetings between the two sides - looks the best bet here.
