#TSGFCB: Record-chasing keepers and goal-hungry Kramarić

Did you know that…

…Hoffenheim have often been Bayern's bogey team at home?

TSG have picked up 13 points in their eight Bundesliga home games against FCB since 2016/17 – the joint-most of any team in that timeframe (along with Gladbach). Last season, Hoffenheim turned a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 win and qualified for the Europa League in the process.

…Hoffenheim are aiming for survival?

With 32 points from 33 matches, TSG are having their second-worst Bundesliga season. The gap to 16th position is three points and six goals – a cushion which, historically, only Nuremberg have thrown away on the final day in 1998/99.

…Bayern are defensively solid, whereas Hoffenheim are vulnerable?

FCB have the league's best defence with 15 clean sheets and have lost only twice in 33 matches – the last time Bayern were so solid was in 2016/17. The men from Munich are unbeaten in eight away games (W5 D3), while Hoffenheim have one of the most fragile defences with only four clean sheets – only Holstein Kiel have fewer (two).

…Oliver Baumann and Manuel Neuer are an historic match-up?

The two keepers are set to face each other in the Bundesliga for the 25th time – only Eike Immel and Uli Stein have met more often (27). Neuer has made the third-most Bundesliga appearances of any keeper (522), with Baumann in fifth place (488).

…Kramarić tends to fare well against Bayern?

No active player has scored against FCB more often than Andrej Kramarić (8). He netted a hat-trick in TSG's 4-2 win last year. Kramarić has scored 11 goals in total on Matchday 34 – historically, only Jupp Heynckes (17) and Fritz Walter (12) have more.
