At 5:30 PM tomorrow, BVB will host TSG Hoffenheim at Signal Iduna Park. Things are looking very good personnel-wise for the hosts, and the guests are not far behind. Here are the probable starting lineups for this final match of the 13th Bundesliga matchday.

BVB will only be missing Niklas Süle, who remains sidelined. Otherwise, all players are available, which once again makes predicting the starting eleven a challenge. Kicker predicts the following lineup for Borussia Dortmund at kickoff:

Despite some recent turbulence surrounding Serhou Guirassy, he remains a fixture in the lineup. Additionally, Ramy Bensebaini and Marcel Sabitzer are two players in the starting eleven who will be opponents at the 2026 World Cup this summer. Whether Julian Brandt will return to the national team and participate in the World Cup will also be decided in matches like this, where he is expected to demonstrate his quality from the start.

Guirassy remains BVB’s main striker

TSG Hoffenheim is known for bringing a certain thrill almost every year. They either perform exceptionally well or have to fight against relegation for a long time. This season, they are having another good run, which makes Sunday’s task all the more difficult for BVB.

Moreover, only two players are missing for TSG Hoffenheim.

  1. Hennes Behrens
  2. Koki Machida

Kicker sees the guests starting at Signal Iduna Park with the following lineup:

Oliver Baumann – Vladimir Coufal, Robin Hranac, Albian Hajdari, Bernardo – Leon AvdullahuGrischa Prömel, Wouter BurgerTim Lemperle, Fisnik Asllani, Bazoumana Touré

Hoffenheim should arrive with healthy self-confidence, having won five of their last six Bundesliga matches. On the other hand, BVB has lost only one of its last 20 league games.

It’s quite clear that BVB is seen as the favorite for the three points in this duel, likely for this reason as well. Odds for a home win are around 1.60. For a TSG victory, odds range between 4.75 and 5.10.

Last season, BVB only managed a 1-1 draw at home against this opponent, when Nuri Sahin was still head coach in Dortmund. Under Niko Kovac, they then achieved a 3-1 away win at TSG Hoffenheim in April.
