#WOBTSG: Penalty specialists face off

TSG Hoffenheim will pay a visit to VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday (15:30 CET / Live Ticker at tsg-hoffenheim.de). Neither team has been in the best of form lately, but there are some statistics that bode well. We reflect on the most important facts and figures on #WOBTSG below.

Did you know that…

...Wout Weghorst will be a visiting player in Wolfsburg for the first time?

The striker plied his trade for VfL from 2018 and 2022 and scored 59 Bundesliga goals. Now Weghorst will be a visiting player in Wolfsburg for the first time.

…TSG are aiming to end their negative run?

Hoffenheim have won only one of their last 10 Bundesliga matches and are without a victory in five games. The aim will be to achieve the turnaround away to VfL Wolfsburg.

…Wolfsburg have also failed to meet their own expectations?

VfL would also like to be higher up in the table. Coach Nico Kovac's team have claimed only two victories in their last 13 Bundesliga matches.

…Hoffenheim actually always to tend to score against Wolfsburg?

TSG have always scored at least one goal in their past 14 meetings with the Lower Saxons – a streak that they will be keen to extend on Sunday.

…two penalty specialists will go head-to-head?

Of the current active goalkeepers in the Bundesliga, Koen Casteels (12) and Oliver Baumann (13) have saved the most penalties in the league. That means that historically speaking, both keepers are in the Bundesliga's top 10.
