Borussia Dortmund will have to make do without Karim Adeyemi and Youssoufa Moukoko this weekend as they take on TSG Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund will look to heap more misery on the struggling TSG Hoffenheim this weekend as the two sides meet in Sinsheim. The Black and Yellows go into the game on the back of eight straight wins in all competitions. While Hoffenheim haven’t won a competitive game since October.

With Union Berlin and Bayern Munich going head to head on Sunday, Edin Terzic will view the Hoffenheim game as a must-win for his side as they look to keep the pressure on their title rivals.

Borussia Dortmund will be without two key players in attack on Saturday, as Karim Adeyemi and Youssoufa Moukoko are both sidelined with injuries. Julien Duranville and Mateu Morey are also unavailable at the moment. But Sebastien Haller and Jude Bellingham are set to return to the starting XI.

TSG Hoffenheim are reeling at the moment and have a long list of absentees ahead of the game. Robert Skov, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Justin Che and Grischa Prömel are all sidelined. Thomas Delaney is ill and is a doubt to face his former club.

Andrej Kramarić has caused Borussia Dortmund all sorts of problems over the years. And while he only has five goals to his name in 20 Bundesliga appearances this season, the BVB defenders will have to be at their best to keep him at bay on Saturday.
