#VFBTSG: Good memories of the state capital
Did you know that…
…TSG are the last team to date that managed to win in Stuttgart?
VfB Stuttgart are unbeaten in 14 home games in the Bundesliga (W10, D4) – their last home defeat to date came against TSG Hoffenheim on 28 October 2023 (3-2). VfB last went on such a long unbeaten streak on home soil under Armin Veh from September 2006 to September 2007 – their title-winning season. The 3-2 reverse to TSG was also Sebastian Hoeneß' only home defeat in the VfB dugout.
…there will be a special focus on the goalkeepers?
After the injury to Marc-André ter Stegen, the Germany national team is on the lookout for a new regular goalkeeper. According to national team coach Nagelsmann, Oliver Baumann will definitely get an international cap; his rival for the position will be between the sticks for VfB on Sunday. Alexander Nübel is also a candidate for the DFB keeper role.
…goals are actually guaranteed?
Each club's Bundesliga matches this season have produced 24 goals – the joint-highest in the division.
…Marius Bülter is in good form?
Marius Bülter scored his first brace on his 35th Bundesliga appearance for TSG Hoffenheim – he had only scored two goals in total in his first 34 Bundesliga matches for TSG. In addition, he has found the net in two BL matches in a row for the first time since February/March 2023, when he netted in four games in succession for FC Schalke 04.
