Did you know that…

…Leverkusen actually fare well against Hoffenheim?

Since TSG’s Bundesliga promotion in the 2008/09 season, Bayer 04 Leverkusen have not beaten any top-flight opponent more than Hoffenheim (18 times, as many as they have beaten Stuttgart).

…but Hoffenheim have recently enjoyed trips to Leverkusen?

Leverkusen have managed to win only one of their last seven home games against TSG. In this time period, TSG have claimed three wins – all by a clear margin (3-0, 4-1 and 3-0).

…numerous TSG players have already scored against Leverkusen?

10 players from the current TSG squad have already found the back of the net against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Meanwhile, only six current Leverkusen players have netted against Hoffenheim.

… Leverkusen are having an historic season?

Bayer 04 are still unbeaten this season after 38 competitive matches (33 draws, 5 wins) – this is an ongoing record for a Bundesliga club. TSG will therefore have the chance to become the first team to beat the Werkself on Saturday.

… the “Vize-kusen” nickname is likely a thing of the past?

Leverkusen have picked up 70 points from 26 matches – only once has a team performed better at this stage of the season. The lead over second place is 10 points, which no team has thrown away so late in the season since the switch to the three-point rule.
