Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund prediction and betting tips on April 26, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 31st round of Germany's Bundesliga 1 on April 26, 2025, Hoffenheim will face Borussia Dortmund. The visitors are hoping to finish in the European competition spots, so they will try to win on the field of a lower-table rival.
Our Prediction for Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund
The club from Sinsheim reminded everyone of its ambitions last season. They collected 46 points, which was enough to finish seventh and thus return to European competition. Terzić’s side, back then, had a disappointing Bundesliga campaign, finishing only fifth, but managed to reach the Champions League final.
This season, their international performance is also better. Borussia not only qualified for the Champions League playoffs but also knocked out Sporting Lisbon and Lille. They even made Barcelona nervous, refusing to give up after a 0-4 defeat—winning 3-1 at home. However, things were going so poorly in domestic competition that Nuri Şahin was sacked after just six months in charge, in mid-winter. Under Niko Kovač, some progress was made—it became realistic to return to the European spots. Against their "namesakes" from Mönchengladbach, they secured a dramatic 3-2 win. The hosts had an even worse start, replacing their coach much earlier, back in November. However, Ilzer exited the cup early and failed to lead his new team to the Europa League playoffs. In the Bundesliga, they have only managed to pull away from the relegation zone. They were beaten 2-3 by Freiburg in the previous round.
Kramarić and his teammates average 1.27 goals per round. However, they concede significantly more—1.83 per game. Despite their problems, Dortmund has a positive goal difference—1.9 scored to 1.57 conceded per match.
