The previous encounter between the two teams ended in a draw. TSG Hoffenheim are set to host Borussia Dortmund on matchday 31 of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season. This will be the second meeting between the two sides this season, with the match scheduled to take place at the PreZero Arena.
Hoffenheim currently sit in 15th place in the Bundesliga standings, just one position above the relegation zone. While they have a decent points cushion, they can’t afford to drop any points in this match. Their previous league outing ended in a loss to SC Freiburg. However, with the upcoming game being at home, Hoffenheim will feel a bit more confident.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the Bundesliga, as they aim to secure a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. The team has shown some positive form in recent matches and will be keen to maintain that momentum. Dortmund head into this match on the back of a victory over Monchengladbach in their last league outing.
