Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Hoffenheim
  • Sébastien Haller suffered an ankle injury during the AFCON final and will be out for several weeks. Donyell Malen has a knee injury which needs monitoring.
  • Felix Nmecha is ruled out with a hip injury, while Karim Adeyemi has an ankle problem. Jadon Sancho has adductor problems which need monitoring.
  • John Anthony Brooks is available after suspension, but Stanley Nsoki is on the naughty step after his sending off last weekend.
  • Grischa Prömel has suffered a knee injury and will be out for several weeks. Kevin Akpoguma is struggling with a back injury.
  • Dennis Geiger has problems with his adductors, while Mërgim Berisha and Marco John have suffered ACL injuries and both will be out long-term.

Prediction

  • Hoffenheim are without a win in eight games, while fourth-placed Dortmund are unbeaten in eight having stabilised after the winter break.
  • Dortmund featured in a goalless draw for the first time in 147 games recently.
  • Under Pellegrino Matarazzo's tutelage, Hoffenheim have only kept two clean sheets in 37 league games, the worst record of any coach in their brief history.
  • The reverse fixture ended 3-1 in Dortmund's favour and a similar result is on the cards here to push Matarazzo to the brink of losing his job.
