#FCATSG: In strong away form for visit to favourite foe

Did you know that…

…TSG have not won so often against any other opponent in the Bundesliga?

Hoffenheim have decided 14 of the 24 Bundesliga matches against FC Augsburg in their favour – TSG do not have that many wins against any other team in the top flight. Hoffenheim have won eight of the past 11 clashes with FCA – however, it was FCA who won the latest meeting 1-0.

…Hoffenheim have already topped their away points tally from last season?

TSG are the best away team in the league, having won every one of their first five matches on the road. Hoffenheim have already picked up 15 points away from home this season; they managed only 13 in the entirety of last season.

…the change of coaches has made an impact at FCA?

FC Augsburg have not lost any of their three Bundesliga matches so far under Jess Thorup (two wins, one draw). Only Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Bayern Munich (both nine) have picked up more points than Augsburg across the last three matchdays.

…Augsburg are strong when it comes to opposition counters?

Augsburg have not yet conceded a goal from a counter-attack this season. But a major challenge now awaits the FCA defence: Hoffenheim have already scored six times in the Bundesliga this season following a counter-attack, five of them in away matches.

…TSG are dangerous from long range?

Augsburg have not only managed to let in no goals from counters, they also have not conceded a goal from outside the penalty area. But Hoffenheim have already scored five long-range goals – that's also a Bundesliga high. TSG's five goals from distance have been scored by Maximilian Beier, Marius Bülter, Florian Grillitsch, Grischa Prömel and Anton Stach.
