#SGETSG: In-form Eagles under threat in the air

Did you know that…

…a win in Frankfurt has been a long time coming?

TSG are winless in six Bundesliga matches in Frankfurt (three draws and three defeats). It is Hoffenheim's longest ongoing away winless run against a Bundesliga opponent.

…Frankfurt are the league's most in-form team?

SGE have picked up seven wins and 21 points in the last 10 rounds of matches. No other team has amassed more points than Frankfurt in that period.

…TSG need to keep an eye on Mario Götze?

Frankfurt's playmaker has had a direct hand in seven goals in 12 Bundesliga appearances against TSG (five goals and two assists) and has scored in each of his last three league games against Hoffenheim; he has never had a longer scoring run against any one club.

…the head-to-head record is even?

The two teams have each claimed nine victories across the 26 meetings, while there have been eight draws. Frankfurt have scored 35 goals in head-to-head meetings – one more than Hoffenheim.

…Hoffenheim are very strong from the flanks?

TSG have already scored five goals from crosses this season – a tally only surpassed by Union (six). TSG have also recorded the most shots following balls from out wide (38).
