Did you know that…
…TSG have not lost both games against FC Bayern in a season for five years?
Other teams do not pick up many points against the men from Munich in one season, but TSG have always picked up at least one point against FCB over the course of the last five seasons. That is a good omen following the 3-0 defeat in the reverse fixture.
…Hoffenheim have recently had a decent home record against the men from Munich?
There have been three victories and three defeats for TSG in their last seven home matches against Bayern. The record is therefore even.
…Bayern are actually having a good season?
The Bavarians will not pick up a title for the first time since 2012 but if they win, Bayern’s tally of 75 points would have been enough to be German champions in 44 of the 61 Bundesliga seasons to date.
…Hoffenheim equalled a club record on Sunday?
TSG scored five goals in one half for the first time in their Bundesliga history in Darmstadt. 5-0 is Hoffenheim’s biggest-ever half-time lead.
…Maximilian Beier is playing historically well?
The TSG striker has already scored 15 goals this season. That makes Beier the third most-successful German goalscorer before his 22nd birthday, after Timo Werner in 2015/16 (21 goals) and Kai Havertz in 2018/19 (17 goals).
…Thomas Müller can equal a Bayern record?
If the international player features against TSG on Saturday, Müller would draw level with Sepp Maier in the FC Bayern Munich all-time Bundesliga appearance list.
