Borussia Dortmund take on the visitors Hoffenheim at “Signal Iduna Park” in the gameweek 17 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played in Dortmund on Saturday, December 16th.
A desperate desire of the Borussia Dortmund’s fans, who had been dreaming about it for two recent months, was accomplished last week: the club’s management dismissed Peter Bosz and appointed Peter Stoger, the former FC Koln’s head-coach, to rule the team. The head-coach’s replacement had a positive influence on the side at once: “Die Schwarzgelben” broke their nine-clash no-win run, having beaten 1. FSV Mainz 05 on the road with 2:0 scoreline. That triumph has become the first one for the club since the 24th of October. At the moment Borussia Dortmund sit on the sixth position in the German elite division table with 25 points earned and 37-23 goal difference. Andriy Yarmolenko and his teammates picked up 10 points in seven encounters played in front of their supporters. The side has failed to win at the home turf across four consecutive battles since the 23rd of September.

Hoffenheim also deserved a victory this mid-week, having defeated VfB Stuttgart with 1:0 scoreline in face of their fans. Currently Julian Nagelsmann’s side occupies the fifth place in the Bundesliga standings with 26 points taken and 26-20 goal difference. Still “Die Kraichgauer” do not feel comfortable on the road: the club recorded eight points gained with 11 goals for and 13 goals against in seven away fights, having lost two latest clashes.
Borussia Dortmund have not been beaten by Hoffenheim since the 18th of May 2013 across nine encounters in a row, having got four wins and five draws during that streak. Taking into consideration the head-to-heads statistics, the head-coach replacement, the home-field advantage of “Die Schwarzgelben” and Hoffenheim’s failures on the road, the most solid selection for the game is the hosts’ triumph in the game.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win.
