The most recent meeting: Since Hoffenheim’s promotion in 2008, the two teams have met 27 times in the Bundesliga. The Green-Whites have the better of the head-to-head, having won eleven games to TSG’s six. The goals scored is much tighter, with Werder leading 46:44. The game earlier in the season on matchday 9 is the recent game. SVW went ahead thanks to a goal from Marvin Ducksch. Hoffenheim‘s Munas Dabbur (suspended for this game with a red card) levelled the game up before half time. Shortly before full time, Niclas Füllkrug struck to give SVW a 2-1 away win.
He’s arrived: Marvin Ducksch scored his first Bundesliga brace on the last matchday. His five goals in the second half of this season (8 appearances) is as many goals as he scored in his first 48 games in the German top flight. These five goals makes him the equal top-scorer in the second half of the season alongside Frankfurt’s Randal Kolo Muani and Mainz’s Karim Onisiwo.
