Hoffenheim look to continue to move up the table on Saturday when they play host to Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
The home side have won three of four league games, and produced arguably their best performance of the season a week ago when they trounced Köln 4-0.
Dortmund are unbeaten in their last six Bundesliga matches, but they were held 0-0 by Mainz at home in their last game a week ago. They have not lost sincce 26 September against Schalke.
Hoffenheim are without Manuel Gudel and Andreas Ibertsberger due to injury, but manager Ralf Rangnick will have the rest of his squad available for the match.
Dortmund are without Dede for the remainder of the season with a ruptured knee ligament, and Tamas Hajnal, Sebastian Kehl, Yasin Öztekin, Anthony Le Tallec and Dimitar Rangelov are also on the list of those not appearing on Saturday.
This should be a very close game with a couple of evenly-matched teams. Give the slight edge to Hoffenheim playing at home after a dominant performance a week ago.
