  • Nico Schlotterbeck was carried off on a stretcher with an ankle problem on Wednesday and is likely to be out for a few weeks.

Prediction

  • Dortmund have the best league home record (6 wins) and enjoy 24 hours extra to recover from Champions League action against Barca in midweek.
  • Hoffenheim played on Thursday and had lost three in a row in all comps before sharing the Bundesliga spoils against Freiburg last time out.
  • Their two meetings saw plenty of goals (2-3, 3-1) last term, but Dortmund can ease to victory here with goals at both ends.
