Hoffenheim Team News

Hoffenheim won their last league match against Union Berlin with a score of 0-2. They took the lead as early as the 22nd minute with a penalty goal by Andrej Kramarić, and they doubled their advantage in the 38th minute when Grischa Promel set up Maximilian Beier for a goal. The score remained unchanged for the rest of the match.

Currently, Hoffenheim occupies the fifth position in the table with 12 points, just one point behind the league leaders, Bayern Munich. So far this season, they have recorded four wins and one loss in the league, and they advanced in the cup competition with a 4-1 victory in the first round against Lubeck.

It is expected that Hoffenheim will be without Florian Grillitsch, Stanley Nsoki, Marco John, Bambase Conte, and Dennis Geiger due to injuries, while loaned forward Wout Weghorst was withdrawn due to a muscle injury in the match against Union Berlin and could miss the upcoming game. If that’s the case, Ihlas Bebou is likely to replace the Dutchman in the attack on Friday, but coach Pellegrino Matarazzo is unlikely to make any other changes to the winning team after their recent victory.

Borussia Dortmund Team News

In the previous round, Borussia Dortmund won 1-0 against Wolfsburg at home. The only goal of the match was scored by Marco Reus in the 68th minute, assisted by Julian Brandt, and there were no further changes to the score.

Before this match, Borussia had recorded two wins and two draws in the league, currently occupying the sixth position on the table with 11 points, just one point behind their upcoming opponent, Hoffenheim. In the first round of the Champions League group stage, they lost 2-0 to PSG away, while they advanced in the cup competition with a 6-1 victory over Schott Mainz.

Dortmund will travel without Marcel Sabitzer, Julien Duranville, Mateu Morey, and Thomas Meunier due to injuries, and coach Edin Terzić is likely to consider possible rotations ahead of a crucial home match against AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday. It remains to be seen whether the 40-year-old coach will continue with the new 3-4-2-1 formation or switch to a back-four formation, but players like Emre Can, Niklas Sule, and Donyell Malen will be hoping to return to the starting lineup either way.
