Match preview

1899 Hoffenheim host Borussia Dortmund in the second round of the Bundesliga season, looking to rebound from an opening-day 3-2 defeat against 1. FC Köln. The hosts showed attacking promise by scoring twice on the road but were undone by defensive vulnerabilities, leaving them in twelfth position in the early standings.

Borussia Dortmund began their campaign in solid fashion with a 2-0 home victory over Hamburger SV, placing them fifth in the table. The visitors have shown strong scoring consistency across their recent fixtures, though defensive injuries to R. Bensebaini, E. Can, and N. Schlotterbeck will test their squad depth on their first Bundesliga away trip of the season.

Historical meetings between these two sides heavily favor the visitors, with Dortmund winning seven of the last ten encounters across all competitions. While Hoffenheim managed a 2-1 victory in their most recent meeting in April 2026, Dortmund have generally dominated this fixture at the PreZero Arena, securing four wins from their last five visits.
