The player BVB are pinning their hopes on against Hoffenheim | OneFootball

BVB striker Serhou Guirassy has scored in each of his last four away appearances in Sinsheim. On Matchday 30 of last season, he netted a late equaliser to make it 1-1 for BVB (87th minute), but two handball penalty goals from Andrej Kramaric (27th/90+8) gave the hosts their first home win against the Black and Yellows since December 2019.

Kramaric has scored 11 goals in 18 Bundesliga matches against Borussia Dortmund (including a four-goal haul away from home in June 2020 and the aforementioned penalty brace). The Croatian has scored more often in the Bundesliga only against Hertha BSC.

The Black and Yellows have scored in each of their last 14 matches in Sinsheim, but have kept a clean sheet there in only two of their 18 away games overall.

Not only are clashes between these two sides usually heated – there have been nine red cards in 36 Bundesliga meetings – they are also often extremely close, as the record shows: BVB may usually have the edge (16 wins in 36 matches, 11 draws, 9 defeats), but they are ahead by only six goals in the goal difference (58:52). Their biggest wins on record are three 3-1 victories.

It is possible that the 37th meeting between the two clubs will be decided from distance. On the opening matchday, only SC Freiburg had more shots from outside the box (11) than Borussia Dortmund (09) and Hoffenheim (7). While Dortmund’s attempts against HSV came to nothing, Adam Daghim marked his first Bundesliga game for Hoffenheim with a long-range goal to make it 1-0 in Cologne (final score 3-2 for FC).Boris Rupert
