1899 Hoffenheim - Borussia Dortmund

After changing their coach 1899 Hoffenheim was still weaker as before. They played very bad against Hamburg and lost deserved 0-2. They were only focused to stand deep and count on a good defensive but forgot that they should play forward too. After they conceded the 0-1 they played their style on and they were never in any dangerous action infront of Adler's goal. Therefore what has U23 coach Kremer done with them. Sure he changed some players and count on players where Babbel do not want in the starting lineup but it was more or less a desaster. If they play like against Hamburg they will have never a chance against Dortmund here. Also some of their players are very tired and without any self confidence and motivation as well. If you are at the bottom you should stand up and fight but not even that they can. What makes me a bit worried are the statements of the players that they need the break for a new start and so on. Hey, they get so much money for their job but are not able to give everything in every situation. Also Sportmanger Müller mean that Kremer is not a magician and it needs time. Maybe they should give this match immediately away with this words.

Dortmund on the other side are not in the best moment above all as they lost last weekend against Wolfsburg undeserved as referee gave a penalty and red for wing Schmelzer which decided this match. Dortmund played really well till this situation but they forgot only to score more goals. Therefore they are 3 points behind 3rd place now and it is almost a must win situation for them. Coach Klopp push a lot under the week and he mentioned that they win this one for sure. It is not easy as they had not the best matches there and won not much but if I compare both teams at the moment who should stop such an offensive with Götze, Reus, Kuba and Lewandowski? 1899 are for sure not as they make to many mistakes in their defensive row and they are more or less much to unstable there. If Dortmund can play like against Wolfsburg in the first 30 minutes I am sure that they will win this encounter.

A big difference here as 1899 Hoffenheim are down and they are almost hopeless above all their last performances showed this while Dortmund has much more potential and players in their rows who can decide this encounter. Sure Dortmund not with the best record in Hoffenheim but at the moment they should be able to overcome them.
