#TSGBOC: Early goals and a clear winner

Did you know that…

…Hoffenheim are Bochum's favourite foe?

Bochum have won six of their 10 clashes with Hoffenheim to date. TSG are the only Bundesliga club against whom VfL have a positive head-to-head record.

…a draw is highly unlikely?

The other four matches have been won by TSG, meaning there has not yet been a draw between the two clubs in the top flight of German football.

…Peter Zeidler has a TSG past?

Between 2008 and 2011, the current VfL Bochum coach was the assistant coach at TSG Hoffenheim and was part of Ralf Rangnick's coaching staff when TSG reached the Bundesliga.

…both teams are waiting for wins?

Bochum are without a win in eight Bundesliga games across seasons, while TSG have not tasted victory for five matches either.

…the goals are likely to come in the first half?

TSG Hoffenheim have scored 70% of their goals (seven of 10) in the first 45 minutes, while VfL Bochum's proportion is even higher at five of six goals (83%). The first half could therefore be a spectacle.
