Hoffenheim v Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips [22 January 2022]

Both Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund will be looking to bounce back in the Bundesliga after losses in the German Cup in their last outings. Hoffenheim will go into the game placed fourth on 31 points, seeking three points against second placed Dortmund, who have 40 points. Hoffenheim are coming from two straight losses, the most recent a 4-1 thrashing by Freiburg, and they now have just one win in the last five matches. In their last five matches, they have no clean sheet, but both sides scoring means they are doing well in attack. Hoffenheim go to this game winless in their last three matches against Dortmund, losing two.

Dortmund will be seeking a response after their 2-1 defeat by lower tier side St. Pauli in the German Cup. They are just six points behind league leaders Bayern Munich and they will want to bag points and narrow that gap. They will have to improve defensively though, having managed one clean sheet only in the last five matches. Defence hasn’t been their best department, and going into this game, both teams have scored in Dortmund’s last four games. These matches have been high-scoring too; each of Dortmund’s last five matches coming up with over 2.5 goals.

These two sides aren’t the meanest in defence; they rarely keep clean sheets. At the same time, they rarely fail to score and going into this game, backed by their recent defensive and attacking performances, we are backing both teams to score.
