How to watch today's Borussia Dortmund vs Hoffenheim Bundesliga game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Borussia Dortmund will take on Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga at the Signal Iduna Park on Sunday.

Dortmund lost a five-goal thriller to Barcelona in their most recent outing and will be looking to bounce back from that defeat. They are in dire need of points to climb up the standings, given they are down in seventh in the league standings.

Hoffenheim have only managed to win three games all season, and only one of those came in their last five league fixtures. They will need a strong display to return home with at least a point.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Borussia Dortmund team news

Dortmund has received a boost with the return of Karim Adeyemi, who is expected to be involved after being sidelined since October.

Meanwhile, Julian Brandt and Maximilian Beier remain unavailable due to hamstring and knee injuries, respectively, and the team is further weakened by the absences of centre-backs Nico Schlotterbeck, Niklas Süle, and Waldemar Anton.

Hoffenheim team news

The visitors face an equally challenging situation with a lengthy injury list. Key defenders Ozan Kabak, Florian Grillitsch, and Christopher Lenz are all out of contention.

Forwards Marius Bülter and Ihlas Bebou, as well as midfielders Grischa Prömel, Umut Tohumcu, and Finn Becker, are unavailable for selection.
