One of Saturday's Bundesliga games will take place at SNP Arena, where Hoffenheim and Dortmund will clash. The hosts didn't make the most pleasing start to the new campaign last weekend, losing to Koln by three goals to two, but they delivered several moments of promise, particularly in the final third, so let's not write them off too soon. The visitors will be looking for a second straight win.
Looking at the early lines ahead of this game, it's worth taking 'Hoffenheim to Score Over 1.5 Goals'. The visitors may have kept a clean sheet at home last weekend, but they did give up some rather chunky chances, while their defensive efforts on the road were poor last season, including when visiting Saturday's hosts. Likewise, Christian Ilzer's men ended the previous campaign in fine offensive form at home, while they showed more than enough final-third quality last weekend to suggest that they'll be a serious threat in front of their own fans.

Our Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
As mentioned above, Saturday's visitors looked shaky at the back at times last week, despite not conceding, so we shouldn't rush to assume that they'll be defensively sound at SNP Arena on Saturday, especially as they're up against a more than capable Hoffenheim offense. Patrick Wimmer, Adam Hlozek and Adam Daghim all looked a mixutre of hungry and threatening as Hoffenheim scored twice against Koln last week, which bodes well.
Factor in that the hosts thrived at home to Dortmund, especially on the break, right at the end of last season, and 'Hoffenheim to Score Over 1.5 Goals' really does start to look generously priced at -105. A fairer reflection would be -133.
Our Hoffenheim vs Dortmund Pick: Hoffenheim to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
