If Dortmund are to seriously challenge Bayern Munich for the title this season, they need to build some momentum and find some consistency. Tonight is a difficult game and just three games in, this feels like a big one for Marco Rose's men.
19:20
Hoffenheim have also scored six goals, opening their campaign with a 4-0 win at Augsburg before being held to a 2-2 draw with Union Berlin last time out. What are we going for, a 4-4 draw?
19:15
Pre-match stat: Reyna is set to make his 50th Bundesliga appearance. Since debuting on January 8, 2020, he has registered five goals and eight assists.
19:10
Dortmund are strong in attack - they have already scored six league goals this season - but defensively there are question marks. Hoffenheim aren't short of goals either, so this should be a very entertaining game.
19:00
Dortmund are hoping to bounce back to winning ways after suffering a surprise 2-1 defeat to SC Freiburg last time out...
18:55
Hoffenheim boss Sebastian Hoeneß makes just one change as Dennis Geiger comes in for Munas Dabbur in midfield. Andrej Kramaric partners Jacob Bruun Larsen in attack, the latter hoping to add to his two goals already this season.
18:50
Two changes for Dortmund as Thomas Meunier has returned to full fitness and starts at right-back. Raphael Guerreiro comes in for the injured Nico Schulz to fill in at left-back. Gio Reyna plays despite picking up a knock last weekend.
