Borussia Dortmund will take on TSG Hoffenheim on Sunday. Kick-off is at 17:30 CET. We have compiled all the info on our Bundesliga home game in a compact format. This page will be updated if there is any news.

Line-up: Schlotterbeck to start
Nico Schlotterbeck, who had to be substituted off with an injury against Barcelona, has made it into the starting line-up to face Hoffenheim. Maximilian Beier is also back in the team after his injury.
Nuri Sahin has named the following XI: Gregor Kobel, Yan Couto, Nico Schlotterbeck, Ramy Bensebaini, Giovanni Reyna, Felix Nmecha, Serhou Guirassy, Pascal Groß, Maximilian Beier, Emre Can, Jamie Gittens.

Referee: Osmers in charge
Harm Osmers, 39, from Hanover will oversee a Bundesliga match involving Borussia Dortmund for the 15th time (there have been nine wins, three draws and two defeats to date); his last was the 2-0 away win in Munich on 30 March. Dominik Schaal and Stefan Lupp will be the linesmen. Sören Storks has been appointed as the video referee.

Kits: BVB in Black & Yellow
Borussia Dortmund will line up as per usual in their yellow shirts with black shorts and yellow socks. Hoffenheim will take to the field in all-white strips.

Tickets: Secondary Market open
The home game against Hoffenheim is sold-out. The visitors will be supported by 1,000 fans. The Secondary Market is open until 15:00 CET on game day. Individual places are currently still available for the match. The Secondary Market offers ticket holders a legal way to sell on their season or match tickets via the BVB Ticket Shop if they are unable to attend the match at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK in person. The ticket holder does not need to hand over their match ticket or their season ticket because the tickets can be blocked electronically and subsequently released again. The Secondary Ticket Market is available for all sold-out home games.

Travel: Ticket included in your ticket
This service from BVB and DSW21 is still unique in the Bundesliga: the match ticket for SIGNAL IDUNA PARK entitles you to an outbound and homeward journey in the entire state of NRW. This also applies to holders of plastic season ticket cards. Holders of a “print@home ticket” or a “mobile ticket” (for example, Apple Wallet) need to have a public transport ticket, which can be ordered online free of charge on this site, in addition to their match ticket.

Live broadcast: DAZN & Net Radio
The match can be watched live on TV via DAZN. The pre-match coverage will start at 16:45 CET. The BVB Net Radio will give you the usual Black & Yellow take. Norbert Dickel and Boris Rupert will be the reporters. The BVB Net Radio will go live 15 minutes before kick-off. It is available to everyone on the homepage and in the BVB app on iPhone and Android devices. Match highlights plus the press conference and match reactions will be available on BVB TV.

Live ticker: Over to the app
BVB's digital channels operate at full throttle on matchday. And that's not only the case during the match, but throughout the matchday too – starting at 09:09 CET, of course.
