Super subs and strong away form

Did you know that…

…Hoffenheim have the best defensive record on the road?

The 1-0 away triumph against FSV Mainz 05 meant that TSG kept a clean sheet for the first time since winning 3-0 at Werder Bremen on Matchday 19. Hoffenheim have conceded only 13 goals away from home in the Bundesliga this season – fewer than any other team in the division.

…Alfred Schreuder's substitutes have scored 10 goals?

Ihlas Bebou came off the bench to score the winning goal in the 1-0 victory in Mainz on Saturday. It was the 10th time this season that a TSG substitute has found the net. The club record stands at 11 goals (most recently in 2018/19).

…TSG have netted in every one of their previous meetings with Düsseldorf?

The two teams have faced off in the Bundesliga on five previous occasions. Both teams have won one game each, while there have been three 1-1 draws too. Hoffenheim have scored a goal in every single meeting.

…Düsseldorf frequently draw under Uwe Rösler?

The former striker has overseen 10 matches since taking over the reins at Fortuna Düsseldorf. Fortuna have lost only two Bundesliga games since his appointment, but there have been just two wins too. Meanwhile, the other six matches have all ended in stalemate.

…TSG will be reunited with some familiar faces?

There are two players from the current Düsseldorf squad who have a Hoffenheim connection: Kasim Adams is currently on loan with the North Rhine-Westphalians, while Kenan Karaman plied his trade for TSG between 2009 and 2014. Another player set to go up against his former club is Ihlas Bebou. The TSG forward was previously under contract in Düsseldorf between 2011 and 2017.
