#RBLTSG: Defensively strong Leipzig

Did you know that…

…TSG are on a six-game winless run against Leipzig?

Hoffenheim's record against the men from Saxony has been pretty miserable over the last three years. Their last victory against RB came almost exactly three years ago, on 21 April 2018, when they won 5-2 at the Red Bull Arena. Since then, they have lost five and drawn one.

…Leipzig have the league's best defensive record?

Leipzig's Péter Gulácsi has been beaten only 23 times this season. That's the best defence in the Bundesliga.

…Hoffenheim have frequently kept clean sheets this year?

TSG were also in convincing defensive form in midweek, with Oliver Baumann keeping his fifth Bundesliga clean sheet of the calendar year against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. That's in sharp contrast to the 13 games that took place in 2020, when Hoffenheim did not keep a single clean sheet.

…TSG should be wary of Marcel Sabitzer?

Hoffenheim are the Austrian's favourite foe. The midfielder has already found the net against TSG three times in the Bundesliga – his best goal tally against any team.
