#BVBTSG – TSG face tough away task
Did you know that ...
...Dortmund have a particularly good record against Hoffenheim?
Since the 2020/21 season, Borussia Dortmund have not scored as many points per game against any other team in all competitions as they have against TSG Hoffenheim (2.4 on average in at least eight matches).
...Hoffenheim are struggling on the road?
TSG Hoffenheim are still waiting for their first away win in this Bundesliga season and have only scored three goals away from home so far - a negative club record. The team has also gone 315 minutes without scoring an away goal and is without a goal in six away games, all of which shows why they have the worst away record in the league so far this season.
...BVB are a real threat at home?
Borussia Dortmund are the Bundesliga's strongest team at home, with 19 points, and have already scored 19 goals in seven home games this season - more than any other club.
...Hoffenheim take on the most challenges, but Dortmund are more efficient?
TSG Hoffenheim lead the statistics with 1,398 tackles this Bundesliga season (108 per match). Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, go into direct challenges less often (96 per match), but have one of the best success rates in the league, with 52%, which is only surpassed by Bayern Munich (54%).
... the focus is on two youngsters?
Hoffenheim's Tom Bischof scored his second Bundesliga goal in just his third game under coach Christian Ilzer after failing to find the net in his first 33 appearances for the club. On the other side is Dortmund's Jamie Gittens, who scored his fifth goal of the season in the 1-1 draw against Gladbach. This means he has already surpassed his goal from his previous 44 appearances in three Bundesliga seasons (four goals) in 13 games this campaign and has also scored in three games in a row for the first time.
