TSG Hoffenheim and Dortmund are two teams on nine points after playing the first four games of the 2022/2023 Bundesliga season.
Both teams would usher us into the fifth week of the season as they face off for a chance to win extra points to their existing points. The goal is to keep winning.
With Bayern Munich still unbeaten, other teams that want to rival them must do better as early as possible because further slipups will make it more challenging to catch up with the defending champions.
Undoubtedly, we are hoping for a solid season with more competition for the title, and Dortmund is one of our top picks.
With the number of matches increasing and Borussia Dortmund is set to host Hoffenheim, we would love to see how this match plays out.

Borussia Dortmund vs. TSG Hoffenheim Odds Breakdown
Even though both teams are close on the table, Hoffenheim is sitting higher, and Dortmund has the favorite Bundesliga odds to win this tie.
Unsurprisingly, they are the better side going by their previous meetings. Dortmund is unbeaten in the last three games, winning the last two matches, and getting one draw.
They both have what it takes to push each other’s defenses, but Dortmund has done better in recent years.
Winning Chance According to Teams’ Odds
However, we think their -161 odds are a bit too low, considering that Hoffenheim isn’t a washed-up team in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim has something to bring to the table, and they’ve been good so far.
With their odds, Dortmund has a 62% winning chance in this game. And throughout the games, they’ve had these odds; they’ve won 62% of them.
So, going by the odds, a bet on Dortmund might seem like the right thing to do. But, we would have to look at other things before we provide our Borussia Dortmund vs. TSG Hoffenheim score prediction.
Borussia Dortmund vs. TSG Hoffenheim Betting Preview
Getting three points in this game will go a long way for both teams. However, they would need to continue from where they stopped in their respective last matches.
Also, Hoffenheim would have to do better than in their last three meetings against Dortmund, as they lost two and drew one.
Their last six meetings in seven have ended in over 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in eight of their last ten matches against each other.
Dortmund has no losses in four but hasn’t kept a clean sheet in three consecutive games. This tie has always been interesting, and we expect more from both sides, even though the season just started.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund started their season with a win against Bayer Leverkusen, one of the top teams in the league.
With that, it seemed like the team would have an impressive when they made it two out of two after beating Freiburg in a four-goal thriller that ended in 3-1. However, their record was tainted by a loss to Werder Bremen.
In that game, they ended the first half in the lead with a goal that came in additional time. They got three extra minutes, but Julian Brandt put the team ahead before the time was up.
In the 77th minute, Raphael Guerreiro doubled the lead for Dortmund. And it seemed like we were going to see another win from the team.
Bremen’s Comeback
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case as Bremen made a perfect comeback with Lee Buchanan scoring the first goal in the 89th minute.
When the regular 90 was up, five minutes were added, and it was enough for Bremen to win as Niklas Schmidt, and Oliver Burke scored in the 93rd and 95th minutes, respectively.
The loss was devastating, but the team could put it behind as they beat Hertha Berlin in the next match. We look forward to what they would do against Hoffenheim and how it would affect their Bundesliga player stats.
TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim’s start to the season is not that different from Borussia Dortmund, except that the team lost their opening match to Monchengladbach.
They were unlucky, and despite being the underdog, they did well in the match. At first, they were reduced to ten men before the first 20 minutes.
Despite that, they took the lead in the 25th minute through the partnership of Andrej Kramaric and Robert Skov.
However, the ten men couldn’t hold on as Ramy Bensebaini equalized for M’gladbach in the 42nd minute before Marcus Thuram and Nico Elvedi finished the job for the team.
TSG Hoffenheim Winning Streak
That loss has been a blessing as the team has gone on to win their last three games with two clean sheets.
The team is on a roll and will continue to give us some exciting games. We look forward to the team doing more as they plan to face Dortmund in another interesting game in the 2022/2023 Bundesliga season.
Borussia Dortmund vs. TSG Hoffenheim Pick and Prediction
With both teams sitting close to each other on the log, a win for either side would change the situation. So, it should be a tough match to make Bundesliga predictions for, with both sides putting in the work.
From the odds, Dortmund is the favorite, but if you know how to bet soccer and you’ve tried betting on Bundesliga games, you’ll know that you can’t rely solely on the odds.
In that case, going by their previous games, we expect both teams to score. Therefore, our Borussia Dortmund vs. TSG Hoffenheim score prediction and pick are as follows.
