THE PREDICTION

Marco Rose will be expecting a strong response from his Borussia Dortmund side after they were knocked out of the DFB-Pokal by 2. Bundesliga leaders St. Pauli in midweek. However, that won’t prove easy against an Hoffenheim outfit who have established themselves as a formidable outfit at home in the league despite also losing in the DFB-Pokal last time out. Both these two sides are set to deploy an ultra-offensive style of play and matches involving either of the two tend to be full of goals. Hoffenheim’s last eight games in all competitions have not only seen over 2.5 goals scored in seven of them, but both teams finding the net in all eight. For Dortmund, in all eight of their most recent fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals scored and the same outcome has to be backed in this encounter, alongside both teams to score.
