H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Hoffenheim Team Overview
🔵 In the last round, Christian Ilzer's side battled hard on Freiburg's turf but ultimately fell short, losing 3-2. Hoffenheim's goals came from forwards Marius Bülter and Andrej Kramarić.
🔗 The "Blue-Whites" are currently sitting 15th, eight points clear of the relegation zone. It's unlikely they'll drop lower, so they won't be playing on their fans' nerves for the remainder of the season. However, the upcoming fixtures will be challenging. Apart from Dortmund, Hoffenheim face matches against Gladbach, Wolfsburg, and Bayern.
🔝 Notably, team captain and goalkeeper Oliver Baumann made his 400th appearance for Hoffenheim over 11 seasons this past weekend. Alongside the legendary veteran, fan-favorite forward Andrej Kramarić stands out as one of the top performers with 11 goals and 6 assists in 28 matches. He earned a spot in the Team of the Week following the recent round.
❌ Central defender Leo Estigor will miss the match due to suspension. Additionally, it's likely that defender Christopher Lenz (shinbone), midfielders Alexander Prass (ankle), and Diadi Samassekou (hip injury) will be sidelined for the rest of the season. Defender Ozan Kabak and midfielders Grischa Prömel and Ihlas Bebou (all with severe knee injuries) will remain unavailable until next season.

Borussia Dortmund Team Overview
🟡 Dortmund are keeping their fans on the edge of their seats in classic fashion. In the recent round at their home ground, Signal Iduna Park, they first conceded a goal, then netted three before halftime, only to concede again in the second half, leaving supporters reaching for the nerve-calming pills. Ultimately, it ended well for the "Black and Yellows" as they secured a victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-2). Special thanks go to Serhou Guirassy, Felix Nmecha, and Daniel Svensson for finding the back of the net. Assists came from Pascal Groß, Karim Adeyemi, and once again Serhou Guirassy.
🔗 This victory marked Borussia Dortmund's 900th win in Bundesliga history! Niko Kovac praised the match highly: "It was crucial to beat a strong Gladbach side. It was another grueling game, but the team fought hard and earned the three points. After the game against Barcelona (3-1), it took us some time to switch gears. But after Carney Chukwuemeka came on, we turned the game around. We are on the right track."
🔝 Serhou Guirassy is in sensational form: he has scored 17 goals in 2025 - only two players in the top five leagues have more (Ousmane Dembélé with 24 goals, and Kylian Mbappé with 21 goals). In the German championship, he ranks third in the scoring charts with a tally of 16+4.
❌ The game against Hoffenheim might see midfielders Maximilian Bayer (who was substituted in the last match but his injury turned out to be minor) and Marcel Sabitzer (knee injury) miss out. Key central defender Nico Schlotterbeck is out for the season with a meniscus tear.
