Did you know that...

…Hoffenheim have started a small run against RB Leipzig?

Thanks to their 4-3 win in the first match against RB, TSG have not lost to Leipzig in their last two Bundesliga games (they drew 1-1 last season). A third game without defeat against the Saxons would be a first. However, Hoffenheim have not won in Leipzig in six games (two draws and four defeats), losing the last three encounters.

...Leipzig are having their weakest ever Bundesliga season and are in the throes of an offensive crisis?

With 42 points after 27 games, RB Leipzig are having their weakest Bundesliga season since achieving promotion to the top tier. They are also struggling offensively: an average of 1.5 goals per game and 12.2 shots on target – all negative records for Leipzig in a Bundesliga season. In addition, RB have already gone seven games without scoring – only in 2018/19 did they go more often without scoring (nine games).

...Hoffenheim are particularly dangerous after falling behind?

Since Christian Ilzer took over as head coach, TSG have picked up 11 points from losing positions – the best record in the league in this metric since November. The most recent comeback was in the draw at home to FC Augsburg. Leipzig, on the other hand, have dropped 11 points after taking the lead in this same time period – only Stuttgart have conceded more (13).

...Leipzig's defence is stable towards the end of games – except against TSG?

RB have conceded just five goals in the final quarter of an hour this Bundesliga season – joint-best in the league (along with Augsburg). However, two of them came in the first clash with Hoffenheim. TSG have only conceded 12% of their goals in the last 15 minutes – the joint-lowest percentage in the league.

…Andrej Kramarić is writing Bundesliga history?

In the draw against FC Augsburg, Kramarić scored his 32nd Bundesliga goal from the penalty spot. Only five players have scored more from the spot in Bundesliga history, and the Croatian is out in front among active players.
