We'll have four minutes of added time in Dortmund.

It's been an end-to-end start to this game again in the second half with Rudy having a shot blocked before Sancho lost out on the counter-attack going the other way.

The ball is rolling once more for the second half in Dortmund with no changes at the break for either side.

We're into just one minute of added time at the end of the first half.

It's still a frantic game that's full of energy in Dortmund, but both defences have begun to snuff of opposition chances. Hoffenheim are showing confidence in attack, while BVB's forward motions have been a touch more seldom in this first half.

When Jadon Sancho has scored, Dortmund has never lost in the Bundesliga. So far their record reads 23 wins, five draws and no defeats.

Chances at both ends with both sides struggling to defend as well as they'd like. We've already seen two goals and it looks like more will come.

The away side get us going in Dortmund on a chilly Saturday afternoon.

Dortmund are slipping down the table but remain four points off the top four as things stand. A win today will put pressure on those around them, while another defeat could see them fall even further behind with teams around them bagging points. Hoffenheim's season is stalling, too, and they're looking to push away from a potential relegation battle.

Haaland has played more Bundesliga games (15) than goals scored (14) for the first time this season. The Dortmund No.9 will be out to get the goals above the games once again today.

Hoffenheim have not lost three successive Bundesliga matches since August 2019, though the first two in that run fell at the end of the previous campaign. They have not lost three on the bounce in a single season since April 2015.

Dortmund were in the top three for most points at home in each of the last two campaigns. They're ninth in the current home table on 16 points (W5, D1, L3). BVB also kept five clean sheets across their first six matches of the season. They've recorded just one in 14 since.

Kramaric's injury has been confirmed by the club as an ankle problem. Hoffenheim have also confirmed that Richards is only on the bench due to a knock he took in the club's final training session yesterday.

Dortmund No.1 Bürki has a shoulder injury so his Swiss compatriot Hitz starts his third league game in a row. Meunier had to break off from training this week due to his knee injury. Can is on hand to fill in, with Bellingham back in to start in midfield. Brandt starts in an advanced midfield role with captain Reus on the bench.

The big news for the away side is that they are missing their man made for this fixture, in Kramaric. The record Croatian scorer in the Bundesliga hit all four of Hoffenheim's goals against BVB on the final day of last season but is out this afternoon. Bebou came on at half-time to score in the 3-1 defeat to Frankfurt and that strike - and his pace - see him displace Belfodil. Sessegnon will not return to training until next week. Despite three goals being conceded, Bayern loanee Richards impressed on the left of Hoffenheim's back three in his first full 90 minutes in the Bundesliga. The American defender is only on the bench this afternoon, though.
