On Friday, in the sixth gameweek of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund aims to maintain their unbeaten streak as they face Hoffenheim at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena.
It is hard to believe that even the most optimistic fans could have anticipated such an impressive start to the Bundesliga 2023-24 season for Sinsheim’s club. Despite a disappointing opening match, losing 1-2 at home to Freiburg, Hoffenheim has shown unexpected strength by winning four consecutive games. Their recent 2-0 victory over Union Berlin, a Bundesliga team competing in the Champions League, has propelled them to fifth place in the standings. They are now just one point away from the formidable duo of Leverkusen and Bayern Munich.
On the other hand, Dortmund’s journey into the new Bundesliga season was filled with uncertainty after losing the title in heartbreaking fashion on the final day of the previous campaign. They were determined to rediscover their true identity, especially after the departure of star player Jude Bellingham, which created a significant void in the team. Despite their imperfect performances, under the guidance of Edin Terzic, Borussia Dortmund can take pride in being one of the few Bundesliga teams to remain undefeated in the first five matches. With three victories and two draws, they currently occupy sixth place, just one point behind fourth-placed Leipzig.
Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips: Dortmund to Win
Considering Jude Bellingham’s departure in the summer transfer window, Borussia has effectively filled the void left by the talented English player. They have managed to remain unbeaten in the first five matches of the German top league, winning three and drawing two. Additionally, the team has shown great resilience by bouncing back after unexpected draws against Bochum (1-1) and newly-promoted Heidenheim (2-2) in the second and third matchdays. They achieved consecutive victories against Freiburg (4-2) and Wolfsburg (1-0) in their most recent games.
Despite being undefeated in the Bundesliga, Dortmund’s gameplay still needs improvement. However, they can find comfort in their recent success against the Sinsheim-based club, having earned six points in the last two seasons. Although facing a tough opponent in high-flying Hoffenheim, we have faith that Edin Terzic and his team will triumph in this challenging away match. This victory will boost their confidence for the upcoming Champions League showdown against AC Milan.

Wout Weghorst, temporarily with the club from Burnley, was forced to exit the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei last weekend due to an injury setback. As uncertainty surrounds his readiness for the forthcoming clash against Borussia Dortmund, Ihlas Bebou emerges as a prime candidate to step into the attacking role.
Dennis Geiger, currently sidelined with adductor muscle problems, is awaiting his first minutes in the 2023-24 season, while Florian Grillitsch‘s availability is in question after he missed the recent 2-0 win against Union Berlin due to thigh issues.

Borussia Dortmund team news
Meanwhile, Dortmund doesn’t seem too concerned ahead of the upcoming Friday match because fortunately, head coach Edin Terzic has quality alternatives at his disposal. This means that Julian Ryerson will replace Thomas Meunier, while Felix Nmecha will enter the starting eleven in place of Marcel Sabitzer.
Karim Adeyemi, who remained an unused substitute during last week’s narrow 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg, is now expected to return to the starting lineup, while Marco Reus is also anticipated to begin from the first minute after scoring two goals in the last two matches.
