#BSCTSG: Andrej Kramarić's second home

Did you know that…

…Andrej Kramarić is up against his favourite foe?

The TSG striker has scored nine Bundesliga goals against Hertha BSC – more than against any other club. Seven of those goals have come in Berlin; of all the players currently active in the Bundesliga, only Marco Reus has scored more away goals against one opponent (eight versus VfB Stuttgart).

…TSG often enjoy success against Hertha?

Since Hertha BSC's last promotion to the Bundesliga in 2013, TSG have won 10 matches against the men from Berlin (plus four draws and four defeats); only against FC Augsburg have Hoffenheim won more games over the past nine years (13 victories).

…both teams rely on continuity?

Both the men from Berlin and Hoffenheim have barely tinkered with their starting line-up this season. There have only been two changes to TSG's starting XI over the last four rounds of matches – the least of any club in the division. Hertha have had to make several changes due to injuries or suspensions but have still only tweaked their starting line-up six times.

…TSG's defence is very solid?

Hoffenheim have already kept three clean sheets this season – as many as they managed in the entire second half of last season. This season, Hertha BSC have the second-worst chance conversion ratio in the league (10.1%, only Bochum are worse in this regard).

…Hertha have recently stabilised?

Hertha have won only one of their first seven matches of the season (three draws and three defeats). But the men from Berlin have stayed unbeaten over the last three rounds, picking up five points during that time – a discernible upturn.
