BORUSSIA DORTMUND (3rd place, 31 points):
Lineup: Weidenfeller – Großkreutz, Sarr, Friedrich, Durm – Kehl, Sahin – Blaszczykowski, Mkhitaryan, Reus – Lewandowski
Injuries / suspensions: Friedrich (doubtful), Sokratis, Hummels, Subotic, Bender, Gundogan, Schmelzer
Key stat: Dortmund has lost 3 of the last 4 Bundesliga matches
BETDISTRICT PREDICTION: Dortmund is simply decimated in defense, almost missing all the starters and their 1st choice backups, and if Friedrich does not play, God help Borussia`s back line. With Hoffenheim`s scoring record, over 2,5 goals seems to be a lock. Should be a tight, entertaining game. Hoffenheim – Dortmund 2-2.
