On Friday, August 2, at 21:45, the match “Borussia Dortmund” – “Hoffenheim”, which opens the 5th stage of the German championship, will be broadcast by Digi Sport 2 and Prima Sport 2.
Borussia Dortmund have nine points from their opening four matches, having suffered just one defeat, a 2-3 at home to Werder Bremen, leading 2-0.
The Yellow-Blacks (2nd place last season) seriously strengthened in the summer, especially in defense, where they brought in two German internationals Niklas Suhle (free from contract from Bayern Munich) and Nico Schlotterback (from Freiburg, for 25 million euros).
Instead, scorer Erling Haaland left (to Manchester City for €75 million, release clause) and was replaced by Sebastien Haller (from Ajax for €31 million), who, however, was out for several months after undergoing surgery on testicular cancer.
Change has also taken place at the level of the technical bench, where Edin Terzic, who has worked at the club since 2018 as second coach and technical director, has taken over the role of head coach following the departure of Marco Rose.
Hoffenheim (9th place in the previous championship) scored nine points in the first four stages, the only defeat was suffered in the first round on the field of Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The head coach of the team since the summer is Andre Breitenreiter, last season’s champion in Switzerland with FC Zürich, who replaced Sebastian Heness.
The most important move at the team level was the arrival of Ozan Kabak from Schalke for 10 million euros (the central defender played in Liverpool and Norwich on loan in recent years).
In the last 10 direct matches (less than three goals were scored in only two of them), Borussia Dortmund won four times, Hoffenheim won three games, and three more meetings ended in a draw.
Last season, Borussia Dortmund won both matches against Hoffenheim with the same score of 3-2.
Superbet offers odds of 1.42 that both teams will score in the match between Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim.
