Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Draw No Bet – Hoffenheim – 2.3
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Hoffenheim to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 1.95
Hoffenheim Draw No Bet
Going up against Dortmund is never easy, but the hosts have thrived in the big games this season, especially at home, losing none of their three games against top-half teams, two of which they’ve won. What’s more, Hoffenheim have collected more points on average at home than Dortmund have on the road (2.22 to 1.44), while they’ve also bettered their visitors in terms of expected goals, goals scored and goals conceded. Consider all of this and the price on the home win with the insurance that ‘Draw No Bet’ provides seems generous.
Hoffenheim to Score Over 1.5 Goals
At home, the goals come easy for Hoffenheim, who average a very promising 2.33 goals for when surrounded by the comforts of home. The hosts have also scored two or more in each of their three home matches against top-half teams, scoring at least twice in six of their last seven at home overall. Dortmund have shipped two or more goals in each of their last four travelling matches against teams currently in the top half.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Hoffenheim vs Dortmund
Hoffenheim’s promising run came to an end last weekend as they were beaten in Berlin by Union, losing by two goals to one. In truth, their effort wasn’t a terrible one, though if either side did deserve to come off second-best, based on chances created, it probably was Sebastian Hoeneß’s men.
It’s not all doom and gloom for Saturday’s hosts, who were unbeaten in seven league matches prior to last weekend’s defeat, while their overall efforts at home should mean that they approach this fixture feeling confident. Die Kraichgauer are unbeaten in seven at PreZero Arena, six of which they’ve won. The hosts are also unbeaten at home against top-half teams this term, beating the likes of RB Leipzig and Frankfurt.
The boys in Yellow have returned from the winter break in imperious attacking form, scoring seven goals in two wins, beating top-half teams Frankfurt and Freiburg. Such results should mean that like the hosts, they go into Saturday’s game feeling upbeat. However, Marco Rose’s men aren’t without defensive worries.
The visitors are without a clean sheet in the league since returning from the festive lay-off, conceding a slightly worrying three in two. They’ve also kept just one clean sheet in their last nine league games, three of which they’ve lost, so as powerful as they are with their embarrassment of attacking riches, BVB are far from infallible.
Quick Rich
At a bigger price, the home win isn’t unappealing. As touched on above, the hosts have a very good record at home, even against the bigger teams, while Dortmund’s record on the road is patchy. And it’s not as if the hosts haven’t overcome BVB at this venue in recent seasons, winning two of the last three renewals of this fixture at PreZero Arena.
