#TSGBMG: hoping for a satisfying home finale

Did you know that ...

...Hoffenheim and Gladbach tend to falter towards the end of the year?

Borussia Mönchengladbach have never won the last away game of a calendar year in any of the last 20 Bundesliga seasons - a longer negative streak than any other club in the Bundesliga. The last time they won away from home to end the year was in 2003, when they beat 1860 Munich 2-1. TSG Hoffenheim, on the other hand, last won the last home game of the year in 2019 (2-1 against Dortmund).

...Borussia are on a curious run?

Borussia won last week (4-1 against Holstein Kiel) - that's a good omen for Hoffenheim. Mönchengladbach have failed to string together two consecutive wins after each of their last 24 victories. The last time Borussia won two in a row was in March 2022.

...Mönchengladbach have been particularly successful against TSG recently?

Since the 2021-22 season, Gladbach have picked up 13 points and four wins against TSG in six Bundesliga matches. Only against VfL Bochum do Gladbach have a better record in this timeframe (18 points, six wins). However, TSG came out on top in the most recent encounter (a 4-3 win).

...TSG will be hoping to finally keep a clean sheet at home?

Hoffenheim have conceded at least one goal in their last 27 Bundesliga home games - the second-longest run in Bundesliga history. The last home appearance without conceding a goal was in April 2023 in a 2-0 win over Schalke.

...Gladbach are particularly strong in the air?

Borussia Mönchengladbach have already scored eight headers this Bundesliga season - a league high. Tim Kleindienst alone has scored five headers. TSG Hoffenheim, on the other hand, have only scored twice with headers.

...Tim Kleindienst is in top form?

Gladbach's top scorer Tim Kleindienst has already scored nine goals in 14 games this Bundesliga season - a figure only equalled at Borussia Mönchengladbach in the last 40 years by Oliver Neuville in 2004/05. Kleindienst also has 13 scorer points (nine goals, four assists), making him one of the most dangerous players in the league.
