December 20th: Away to Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim aren’t quite the same team without Julian Nagelsmann but Alfred Schreuder has done well so far this season. Currently 2 points behind Borussia Dortmund through 13 games, Hoffenheim occupies 8th place. Hoffenheim are never an easy team to play against, they always pose as a tough opponent for Dortmund.

Their star man Andre Kramaric has struggled with injury this season but when he plays, he is always dangerous. He has only played in 4 games, scoring in every single one of them. If he’s fit when these two teams meet he will make life difficult for Dortmund.

Although Hoffenheim is a team Dortmund should be able to beat, it will be key that they don’t let up right before the break and allow points to slip from them.
