BVB versus Hoffenheim: facts for Sunday's match | OneFootball

Scenario Third against fifth. The two clubs have never met while they've both been in the top five. TSG are unbeaten in six games and have collected 16 points in this time frame – only Bayern have collected as many in the same period. The Kraichgauers have celebrated seven wins in this Bundesliga season, already as many as in the entire previous season.

Home & away: Borussia were unbeaten in 11 home games across all competitions (nine wins, two draws) prior to their cup match against Leverkusen. Their last home defeat in the Bundesliga was almost nine months ago, when they lost 1-0 to FC Augsburg on 8 March. Hoffenheim are a force away from home, picking up 14 of a possible 18 points on the road this season without losing once, giving them the best away record in the league. Across all competitions, TSG are unbeaten in eight away games, with the club record standing at nine. Hoffenheim last lost away from home over seven months ago: on 19 April, they suffered a 3-2 defeat at SC Freiburg.

Head-to-head record: BVB have won six of their last eight Bundesliga matches against Hoffenheim, but none of their last two home games (a 3-2 loss, a 1-1 draw) and have only managed a balanced home record against TSG over the past seven years (two wins, three draws, two defeats). Only one of the 34 Bundesliga matches between the two clubs has ended 0-0 (on 28 February 2009 in Dortmund) – at least one goal has been scored in all 32 matches since then.

Biggest home win: Only two of the eight home wins have been by a two-goal margin. BVB have never beaten Hoffenheim by more than 3-1 at home, most recently on 28 February 2016. Sebastian Rudy gave the visitors the lead, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan (80), Adrian Ramos (83) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (added time) snatched a 3-1 home win with late goals.

Last season: Hoffenheim had more shots on goal (12-8), but only one of them was on target: in added time, former Borussia player Jacob Bruun Larsen cancelled out Giovanni Reyna's 46th-minute opener.Compiled by Boris Rupert
