Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Prediction and Betting Tips

Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim return to action in the second round of the DFB-Pokal when they go head-to-head at the Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday (November 1).

Dortmund were denied a fourth win on the bounce on Sunday, as they could only salvage a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt at the Deutsche Bank Park.

However, Edin Terzic’s men are unbeaten in seven games across competitions, winning five, since a 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on September 19.

Dortmund will now look to find their feet as they return to the DFB Pokal, where they kicked off their campaign with a 6-1 first-round win over Schott Mainz on August 12.

Hoffenheim, meanwhile, made it six wins in their opening six away games this season, edging out Stuttgart 3-2 at the PreZero Arena on Saturday.

Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men have won six of their nine Bundesliga games to collect 18 points and sit sixth in the standings. Hoffenheim will look to pick up where they left off in the DFB Pokal first round, where they cruised to a 4-1 win over Lubeck in August.
