Expected Borussia Dortmund lineup for TSG Hoffenheim clash

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to show a response following their mid-week DFB-Pokal exit as they take on TSG Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga this weekend.

Borussia Dortmund’s final game before the international break sees them make the trip to TSG Hoffenheim. After suffering a shock defeat to St. Pauli in the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday, the Black and Yellows will see this weekend’s game as a must-win one.

Beating Hoffenheim away from home certainly won’t be easy though, as the Sinsheim based club find themselves in fourth place in the Bundesliga standings. Although much like Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim also crashed out of the DFB-Pokal earlier this week. And they will also be aiming to return to winning ways on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund will be without Emre Can and Gio Reyna this weekend, but Mahmoud Dahoud could return to the starting XI after missing the St. Pauli clash due to a back injury.

Here is a look at how Borussia Dortmund could line up for their Bundesliga clash against Hoffenheim.

Goalkeeper: Gregor Kobel

Kobel will start in goal once again this weekend for Borussia Dortmund. Despite his lack of clean sheets, the Swiss shot stopper has hardly put a foot wrong so far this season. And he will be looking to continue his impressive run of form on Saturday.
