Hoffenheim is experiencing a resurgence after their disappointing opening-day loss to Freiburg in the Bundesliga. They have won their last four league matches, marking their best-ever five-game start to a Bundesliga season. This run includes a 2-0 victory over Union Berlin, who finished fourth last season. Therefore, hosting perennial title contenders Borussia Dortmund shouldn't intimidate them.

However, history suggests that Hoffenheim might find it challenging to secure another win at this stage of their winning streak. In the past, they have drawn their fifth game after each of their two previous four-game winning runs in the Bundesliga. While this may be coincidental, their coach Pellegrino Matarazzo's record against Dortmund, with one win and four losses, and Hoffenheim's recent poor home head-to-head form (one win, one draw, three losses) contribute to their underdog status.

On the other hand, Dortmund remains unbeaten but trails Hoffenheim by one point due to two draws and three wins. They haven't had such a solid start since the 2018/19 season when they remained unbeaten until the 16th round but ultimately finished second to Bayern Munich.

To improve their chances, Dortmund needs to focus on keeping more clean sheets, as they haven't shut out any team on their travels this season (two wins, one draw, one loss). Their recent record of just one clean sheet in their last 11 competitive away matches suggests that Dortmund's attackers will be crucial in this fixture. Interestingly, they enter this match after a rather subdued 1-0 home win, the same scoreline as both league head-to-head matches last season, both of which Dortmund won.

Two players to watch are Maximilian Beier, who has scored in all four of Hoffenheim's league victories this season, and Marco Reus from Dortmund, who scored his 62nd match-opening Bundesliga goal in the previous round, a feat achieved by only four other players in the league's history.

These two could deliver a classic. Anything can happen and I foresee a rain of goals!

霍芬海姆在德甲揭幕战负于弗赖堡后正在经历复苏。他们在最近的四场联赛中取得了胜利，这是他们在德甲联赛中有史以来最好的五战开局。这轮连胜包括2:0战胜上赛季排名第四的柏林联盟。因此，主场迎战常年冠军争夺者多特蒙德应该不会吓到他们。

然而，历史表明，霍芬海姆可能会发现在他们连胜的这个阶段取得另一场胜利是具有挑战性的。在过去的德甲联赛中，他们在之前的两轮四连胜中都取得了第五场平局。虽然这可能是巧合，但他们的教练佩莱格里诺·马塔拉佐对阵多特蒙德的战绩(1胜4负)，以及霍芬海姆最近主场交锋的糟糕状态(1胜1平3负)，都让他们处于劣势。

另一方面，多特蒙德保持不败，但2平3胜落后霍芬海姆1分。自2018/19赛季以来，他们从未有过如此强劲的开局，当时他们在第16轮之前保持不败，但最终以第二名的成绩落后于拜仁慕尼黑。

为了提高他们的机会，多特蒙德需要专注于保持更多的零失球，因为他们在本赛季的客场比赛中没有击败任何一支球队(2胜1平1负)。他们最近11场客场比赛中只有1场零封对手的记录表明多特蒙德的攻击手在这场比赛中至关重要。有趣的是，他们在主场1-0大胜之后进入了这场比赛，这个比分与上赛季联赛的两场交锋相同，两场比赛都是多特蒙德获胜。

两名值得关注的球员是马克西米连·贝尔，他在本赛季霍芬海姆的四场联赛胜利中都有进球，以及多特蒙德的马尔科·罗伊斯，他在上一轮比赛中打进了他的第62个德甲开局进球，联赛历史上只有另外四名球员取得了这一成就。

这两个人可以创造一个经典。任何事情都有可能发生，我预见会有一连串的进球!
