With the game at Signal Iduna Park, the curtain opens on the 5th matchday of the Bundesliga and the host Dortmund has to welcome a tough opponent such as Hoffenheim.
From 3 wins and 1 loss, the two opponents have in the first four games with the 9 points they have collected being considered highly satisfactory. But this can be somewhat deceiving as I have the feeling that Dortmund is not pulling. In the first game, they won by force 1-0 against Leverkusen, who were bad in the first three games. The image of it in the friendly against Panathinaikos that I had seen was nothing like Bayer Leverkusen and its elimination in the cup with 4-3 by a 3rd division team came to confirm it. The Dortmund we're talking about went 1-3 with an upset by Freiburg and showed who they are, but in the next match against Werder Bremen, they suffered a major setback. In front of the score 2-0 until the 88th minute and managed to lose 2-3 which makes me wonder. In the most recent one, he was beaten 0-1 by Berlin and Hertha, but I don't consider that something worthwhile.
Hoffenheim, who were beaten 3-1 away by Gladbach in the premier league, are coming from 3 in 3 against Bochum (3-2), Leverkusen (0-3), Augsburg (1-0) and are looking in excellent form . They are a team that will make it difficult for the yellow and black in Westphalia and I give them more luck than the odds say, in which there is the paradox that the draw is priced at 4.81 and the double at 4.87. At least the draw should be further down.
In any case, I say that Dortmund in the phase they are in, I don't think they can win as easily as the 1.70 of the ace says. Hoffenheim has eight goals in 4 games, 4 away from home! He can score here as well and get a result so I will bet 2.31 on the double chance.
