Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Match Overview – 18.04.2026

Hoffenheim hosts Borussia Dortmund at the PreZero Arena in a match from the 30th round of the German Bundesliga. Let’s preview this clash in our high-odds football predictions this weekend and see what we can tell you about it.

Hoffenheim are enjoying a pretty good season in the Bundesliga. They are 6th in the standings, just one point behind the 5th Bayer Leverkusen and the Europa League spot. Die Kraichgauer are not in their best shape, though – no win in the last four matches.

Borussia Dortmund are also having an excellent season, but Bayern Munich are just too strong at the moment. Niko Kovac’ team is second in the standings with 64 points – 8 points ahead of the third Stuttgart. Die Borussen have lost just three matches since the start of the campaign.

Borussia Dortmund News & Analysis

If Bayern weren’t so dominant this season, Borussia Dortmund would have a solid chance to win the title. The truth is that Kovac’ team is playing well and they are getting results. Dortmund have won 19 of their 29 matches since the start of the campaign.

Last weekend Die Borussen suffered their third defeat for the season, though. The former champions faced Bayer Leverkusen at home, and conceded a bit surprising 0-1 loss. But for Dortmund that result is not that important at the moment – it’s almost certain that they will finish second in the league.

Borussia’s manager Niko Kovac can’t use some players such as Emre Can, Felix Nmecha and Yan Couto – they are all recovering from injuries.

Hoffenheim News & Analysis

What worries Hoffenheim’s fans right now is the team’s current form – just two points won in the last four matches. Hoffe have a very good chance to qualify for the European competitions, but they need to keep some levels in the remaining games.

Last weekend Die Kraichgauer made their 6th draw for the season. Hoffenheim faced Augsburg away from home and scored twice for a 2-2 draw. Hranac and Toure scored for Christian Ilzer’s team.

The Austrian manager can’t use players like Gendrey, Hlozek and Machida who didn’t recover in time.
