1899 Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund

TSG Hoffenheim have lost each of their last four Bundesliga home games against Borussia Dortmund, twice as many defeats as across their first 12 top-flight home matches against BVB. Hoffenheim have never suffered five straight top-flight defeats at home against any team (also 4 in a row against B04 and FCB).

TSG Hoffenheim have only won one of their last six Bundesliga games (D2, L3), claiming just 30 points from the opening 30 matchdays – they have only ever been worse off at this stage on two occasions in the top flight: 29 points in 2022/23 and 24 points in 2012/13.

TSG Hoffenheim’s 2-0 home win against 1. FSV Mainz 05 on matchday 29 saw them end their eight-game wait for a Bundesliga victory at home (D5, L3), as well as their 34-game wait for a clean sheet on home soil in the top flight. TSG will now be looking to record back-to-back home wins within a single Bundesliga season for the first time in over a year.

Last weekend’s victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach was Borussia Dortmund’s 900th win in their 1,964th Bundesliga match, making them the second team to reach this milestone after FC Bayern. BVB are on a four-game unbeaten run in the league for the first time in 2025 (W3, D1), picking up as many points as they did in their previous 11 Bundesliga matches combined (10).

Borussia Dortmund have scored a league-high 12 headed goals in the Bundesliga this season. Opponents TSG Hoffenheim have only conceded two headers in the league since the start of October, the second-best record during this period after Leverkusen (1 header conceded).
