Overall record: These sides have played one another 29 times in the Bundesliga. SVW have won 11 of their encounters, with TSG victorious in seven. The honours have been even on ten occasions. Werder last beat Hoffenheim at home on matchday 31 of the 2013/24 season. They won 3-1 thanks to goals from Philipp Bargfrede, Santiago Garcia and Nils Petersen, while Kevin Volland scored for Hoffenheim.
Aerial threat: Only two teams have scored more goals from headers than SVW this season. They are far in front of TSG, who haven’t scored a header this term, with four. SVW should be wary of Hoffenheim’s crossing, however. Despite having no headed goals, TSG have scored the third-most goals in the league following crosses.
A likely goalfest: The only 0-0 draw between the two sides in the Bundesliga was on matchday 23 of the 2008/09 season. SVW have also been clinical in front of goal at home this season, having scored three of their four clear-cut chances. TSG, the strongest away side in 2023/24, have scored in every game so far.
