Rhein-Neckar-Arena: Home of Hoffenheim(credit:

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has warned his side against underestimating hosts Hoffenheim today.
The league leaders head to Rhein-Neckar-Arena this afternoon looking to maintain, or even increase, their 12-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
But Klopp is not expecting an easy time against a Hoffenheim side that, he believes, will be eager to put an end to their losing ways in a game they are not expected to take anything from.
The Dormund boss said: “We need to be fully awake and focused.
“They want to show a reaction and now they face the league leaders.
“It´s an opportunity (form them) to sort out a few things.”
While Borussia Dortmund moved a step closer to the German title with a 1-0 win over Cologne last time out, Hoffenheim saw their winless run reach four games with a 2-0 defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach.
