#TSGSCF: Hoffenheim aiming to end negative run

Did you know that…

…TSG have already been waiting a long time for a home victory against Freiburg?

Hoffenheim are winless in five Bundesliga home matches against SC Freiburg – their longest such run against a current top-flight club. Their last win at the PreZero Arena was in September 2018 (3-1).

…Freiburg are struggling on the road but have the wind in their sails?

Freiburg ended a four-match winless streak by beating Gladbach 3-1 last week – but they are without a win in three away games. It is the longest drought Freiburg have endured on their travels in 2024.

…Hoffenheim have recently had problems in attack?

TSG have failed to find the net in four of their last five Bundesliga games – more than in the entirety of last season. 17 goals from 12 games represents their lowest tally since the 2015/16 campaign (12).

…former TSG player Vincenzo Grifo has become a Freiburg legend?

Grifo made 20 Bundesliga appearances for Hoffenheim, notching one goal and three assists. For Freiburg, he has now registered an impressive 115 goal involvements in 214 Bundesliga games (60 goals, 55 assists) and recently notched his sixth assist of the season – only Omar Marmoush currently has more assists on the board (7).

…ex-Freiburg player Oliver Baumann continues to set records in Hoffenheim?

The TSG goalkeeper has made 473 Bundesliga appearances to date and drew level with Sepp Maier in the all-time charts in Mainz. He will overtake the former national team goalkeeper in Freiburg. Baumann made 131 appearances for SC Freiburg and has played 342 times for TSG Hoffenheim. With 44 shots saved this season, Baumann tops the Bundesliga's goalkeeper ranking.
