#RBLTSG: One goal to equal the record

Did you know that…

…Hoffenheim are having their third-best season statistically?

TSG Hoffenheim have 23 points on the board from 14 games – only in 2016/17 (26) and 2008/09 (31) have they had more points at this stage.

…no visitors have won in Leipzig for a long time?

RB Leipzig are on the longest ongoing unbeaten home run in the Bundesliga. Since 1. FSV Mainz 05 ran out 3-0 winners on 1 April, there have been no away victories at the Red Bull Arena. Leipzig have won nine of their 11 matches in this time.

…Hoffenheim boast a long scoring run?

TSG Hoffenheim last drew a blank in the Bundesliga in a 1-0 defeat in Leipzig on 29 April, scoring 37 goals in their 18 games since. If they score a goal on Saturday, TSG will equal the club record – Hoffenheim only previously managed a scoring run of 19 consecutive games in 2016/17.

…both teams are difficult to predict?

Last week, Ihlas Bebou became the 12th TSG player to score a goal this season. Leipzig also have 12 scorers already – no other team has more different goalscorers than TSG and RB this term.

…it’s a strong home team against an away force?

Leipzig currently occupy third place in the home table, while TSG have been the third-best away team of the season to date. Both teams could move up to first place in their respective table with a victory on Saturday evening.
