Hoffenheim v Dortmund Preview and Prediction

One of the games on the last day of the Bundesliga campaign is at the WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena, as Hoffenheim host rivals Dortmund.

These two teams are currently fourth and third-place respectively. Dortmund are three points ahead of the home side and only need a point to confirm a spot in next seasons Champions League. BVB could still make Europe’s elite competition with a narrow defeat.

Hoffenheim are only above fifth-place Bayer Leverkusen on goal difference, so if Bayer wins their game against Hannover and Hoffenheim fail to win, Julian Nagelsmann home side will have to settle for a Europa League spot.

Hoffenheim heads into this game in decent form in the Bundesliga. However, a 2-0 defeat at Stuttgart last time out ended a three-game winning run for the home side.

Dortmund have recovered well from a terrible spell of form at the end of last year to pull themselves up to third-place in the table under Peter Stoger.

BVB could have clinched a Champions League spot earlier, but they have failed to win in their last two games against Werder Bremen and last time out Mainz.

The visitors have not won in their last four games on their travels in the Bundesliga, drawing twice and losing twice.
