Borussia Dortmund prepares for upcoming Bundesliga away game against TSG Hoffenheim

Borussia Dortmund travels to face TSG Hoffenheim this Saturday for their first away match of the 2026–27 Bundesliga season. BVB enters the fixture following a 2-0 league win over Hamburger SV and a 5-0 DFB Cup victory against HEBC. Head coach Niko Kovac aims to maintain this momentum despite navigating a roster depleted by long-term injuries to Giannis Konstantelias, Emre Can, and Nico Schlotterbeck. TSG Hoffenheim, led by Christian Ilzer, seeks a rebound after falling 2-3 to 1. FC Köln in their opening match. Kovac suggested that new signing Ethan Nwaneri may make his competitive debut during the encounter in Sinsheim. The historical series between the two clubs suggests a competitive outcome, as only one of their 39 previous meetings resulted in a scoreless draw.
