Two Germany top-flight sides with entirely different ambitions for the rest of the season meet this weekend, as Hoffenheim host Borussia Dortmund.
Hoffenheim are looking to move further away from the bottom three with a win, while Borussia Dortmund need points to keep their hopes of qualifying for European football alive.
The hosts were looking to record back-to-back home wins for the first time in 2025 when they visited SC Freiburg last Saturday. After a slow start that saw Christian Ilzer's men two goals down after 36 minutes, they managed to draw level at 2-2 before conceding an unanswered goal 12 minutes into the second half. Despite the defeat, Die Kraichgauer remain eight points clear of the bottom three and will be buoyed by the fact that they are unbeaten in their last four home games.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, hosted Gladbach last weekend, hoping to pick up another win after their 3-1 victory over Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals. Die Schwarzgelben came from a goal down to win 3-2 and will be hoping for another win that could see them move into the top six.
Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Both teams are struggling defensively at the moment, with Hoffenheim keeping just one clean sheet in their last six games, while the visitors haven't finished any of their last ten fixtures without conceding.
