It's a pity indeed, even though if you look at the overall statistics they dominate all lines even for attack and possession of the ball they control it.
but it was not enough because they couldn't penetrate the Hanover defense and their mistake was that they always allowed Hanover's quick counter-attack and some Hanover strikers were free to play the ball in their defense which made them lose this match.
This is so good about football because even a strong team like Bayern can still loss to teams that are under the standings, they can sure make mistakes aswell, and from this perspective, Hannover seems very lucky at that time, and the Gladbach is having a bad day from making mistakes, this would hardly a coincidence and many are expecting that Gladbach could win that game, and pretty much the odds are in the Gladbach side aswell.
Honestly if you think that a Dortmund team that got Haaland back would lose to a team like Hoffenheim... well you might be right because this is football. After all we have seen many upsets and any game could be an upset, bayren could lose to last team in the league, and could beat them by 5 as well, anything could happen.
However, I do not "expect" them to lose, yes Hoffenheim doesn't look like a bad team and they are 4th in the league which is great and all but they won just 1 game in the last 4 matches in the league, whereas Dortmund is second in the league and had 3 wins in the last 4 games, with only 6 point difference to almighty Bayern.
I don't expect Dortmund to lose either, but Hoffenheim is an incredible team that should not be underestimated, they can cling to a draw whenever they feel like their going to lose if the game would not turn out in Dortmund's favor, and Erling Haaland could be stopped by players of Hoffenheim it could end in a draw, but I am expecting a win from Dortmund, aswell.
If we're being honest, I won't be surprised if Dortmund ends up losing that game. It's no longer new to see them lose at games where they've a better team and are positioned well (by statistics) to win but end up losing but let's just keep our fingers crossed and see how it plays out. My money is on Dortmund to get all 3 points though but anything is possible with this team.
The Possibility is endless, but I don't think Dortmund could lose to Hoffenheim I'd rather see a draw game, between these two, but just like you, my money is on Dortmund on this match, I mean all teams got their 1-week break after all, and I think all players would assume have regained their stamina in making it possible.
