Penalty specialists and a return for Justvan

Did you know that…

…both clubs have already gone head-to-head in the DFB-Pokal?

Almost exactly 15 years ago, TSG were also drawn against 1 FC Nürnberg in the second round and prevailed 1-0 thanks to a goal from Per Nilsson.

…Julian Justvan has the chance to achieve something special?

The midfielder played for TSG in the first round and even netted a penalty to help TSG win in the shoot-out away to Würzburger Tickers. Now he has the chance to score against Hoffenheim in the following round.

…both clubs took a similar path to the second round?

Speaking of penalties: Nürnberg and TSG were the only two out of 32 clubs to win their first-round tie in a penalty shoot-out.

…Hoffenheim always score against Nürnberg?

Although TSG have failed to score in two straight matches, they should feel optimistic about finding the back of the net again against Nürnberg. TSG have scored in each of their previous six home games against "Der Club".
