TSG Hoffenheim

The game is almost sold out – so the atmosphere for the game with FC Augsburg will be excellent. Starting at noon, food trucks from various regional suppliers will be there, offering their wares to visitors in the P8 car park at the PreZero Arena before kick-off, and various event modules will also entice visitors to get to the area around the PreZero Arena nice and early. The Rhein-Neckar Löwen, Adler Mannheim, Stuttgart Surge, the MLP Academics, the Klima Arena and the Museum of Technology, among others, will all be laying on their own activities. Of course, the HOFFEXPRESS will also be on site, and TSG eSports will set up their own pavilion.

The winners to date:

13 goals and seven assists – Maximilian Beier is having a perfect season. Following a two-year loan spell at Hannover 96 in the second tier, the 21-year-old has established himself in the Bundesliga – and staked his claim for bigger things. Julian Nagelsmann gave the striker his first Germany call-up in March – a vindication of his development even if he did not play. Beier’s performances on the pitch are helping him off the pitch too: “I’m become more self-confident, I’ve noticed that recently in everyday life,” he declared. “I always used to be a very shy guy. For example, I always used to discuss with my girlfriend in the supermarket about which of us should ask the assistant where we’d find certain products.” That now stresses him out less – as do interviews, even if they are still not his favourite thing.

Due to the expected number of spectators at the stadium and the high volume of traffic, TSG Hoffenheim recommend travelling early and using public transport. Additional buses will be running to the PreZero Arena on Sunday. A shuttle service, which will run every 15 minutes, will take visitors from Sinsheim/Elsenz railway station (from the bus stop on the side facing the railway tracks) to the stadium (Sinsheim-Süd industrial estate, opposite AVR) and back again. A shuttle service has also been organised on various routes to take visitors directly to the stadium from towns in the surrounding area.

As the barrier-free away trips proved so popular in the past, a coach with a lifting device will be heading on an away day for the second time this season.
