Premium Tips

Andy leans towards Dortmund, with goals also on the agenda.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Borussia Dortmund to win and over 2.5 goals9/5Dortmund opened the season with a 2-0 win and a clean sheet, and they travel as the stronger side to a Hoffenheim team that conceded three goals in its own opener. The goals line is backed by a consistently open head-to-head: four of the last six meetings between these two cleared 2.5, including a couple of 3-2s, so this fixture rarely stays quiet. Dortmund’s quality allied to Hoffenheim’s leaky start points to an away win with goals in it.
Serhou Guirassy to score anytime and Andrej Kramaric over 1.5 shots19/10Guirassy is the standout leg. He is an elite finisher with 18 goals from 86 shots and 42 on target in the sample, 160 touches in the opposition box and penalty duty, exactly the striker to back against a Hoffenheim defence already conceding freely. Kramaric supplies the shots angle: Hoffenheim’s talisman is a high-volume shooter at roughly 2.6 attempts per 90 from 65 shots with 33 on target, plus set-piece and penalty responsibility, giving the over-1.5 line a healthy cushion whenever he starts.

How Hoffenheim go into the game

Hoffenheim were beaten 3-2 at Koln on the opening weekend, a lively if leaky display. The PreZero Arena is where they must build.

Dangerous going forward but open at the back, Hoffenheim will back themselves to score. Home advantage is a useful edge.

How Borussia Dortmund go into the game

Dortmund opened with a professional 2-0 win over Hamburger SV, a solid start. They travel to Sinsheim with confidence.

Backed by a strong squad, Dortmund carry a serious threat and should fancy this trip. A positive result is the aim.
