Full-time: Dortmund 2-3 Hoffenheim
Having done the hard part of working themselves in front from an early deficit - Ilhas Bebou netting in the third minute - BVB gave up an advantage worked via Donyell Malen and Nico Shlotterbeck goals to lose against Hoffenheim. A couple of Maximilian Beier goals in quick succession bring the visitors a first win in nine after an incredible game. BVB lose for the first time in 2024.

What a chance!
Julian Brandt puts the set-piece right onto Emre Can's head and the BVB captain - completely unmarked and so close to goal - can only head off target. The home fans collectively throw their hands to their heads. That was the one.

Penalty review
Sabitzer wallops a shot from the edge of the area that takes a slight nick before hitting Grillitsch's hand inside the area. After a brief check, play continues. That would have been harsh on Hoffenheim had that been given. Not much Grillitsch could do.

Out of almost nothing, the visitors are on terms. Füllkrug gives the ball away in attack and Grillitsch immediately plays Beier away on the counter. The Hoffenheim man runs at Can, cuts outside and shoots. The effort takes a wicked deflection off Schlotterbeck and flies in.

Half-time: BVB 2-1 Hoffenheim
The hosts responded to going behind early-on - when Ihlas Bebou expertly took advantage of a defensive error - with goals from Donyell Malen and Nico Schlotterbeck. It's been frenetic at times and the second half will likely offer more of the same excitement.

Door open for BVB
After fifth-place Leipzig fell to defeat at Bayern Munich and third-place VfB Stuttgart were held by Cologne yesterday, Dortmund could open up a four point lead over the former and move within three points of the latter if they beat Hoffenheim. As for TSG, they can climb as high as seventh with victory.

Dortmund and Füllkrug on song
BVB are unbeaten in 2024 in all competitions, a run which covers seven games. Füllkrug, meanwhile, has six goals in six Rückrunde matches, more than any other player in the German top flight.
Head-to-head
This fixture has been rather one-sided in recent years. Dortmund have won the last six meetings in all competitions and are unbeaten in the last eight, with Die Kraichgauer's previous win coming in June 2020. That game, though, did end 4-0 to Hoffenheim - they will be hoping for a similar scoreline here.
