VfL Wolfsburg pay a visit to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on Saturday 25 September looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season. The Green-and-Whites may have conceded top spot in the table last weekend, but they remain one of three teams – along with Bayern Munich and Freiburg – who are yet to taste defeat in the Bundesliga. As well as that, Mark van Bommel’s side have let in just two goals this term – the best defensive record in the league. Hoffenheim have five points from their opening five games and lie in mid-table.
Further facts and figures
Hoffenheim have gone four matches without a win, failing to score in the last two.
TSG have failed to win either of their two home games this season, registering one draw and one defeat. Wolfsburg, in contrast, won both of their away outings (2-0 at Greuther Fürth and 2-1 at Hertha Berlin).
TSG have won 40 per cent of their home matches against the Wolves, but VfL have picked up the same percentage of victories in Sinsheim.
The Green-and-Whites have scored more goals against Hoffenheim than against any other current Bundesliga club – an average of exactly two per game.
VfL frontman Wout Weghorst has scored seven goals against Hoffenheim, including six in three visits to the Rhein-Neckar-Arena.
If the Wolves take the lead, they stand a good chance of coming away with three points. TSG have never beaten Wolfsburg after going 1-0 down (one draw, seven defeats).
Hoffenheim won 2-1 in the last meeting between the two sides on Matchday 24 of last season but have never managed two successive victories against VfL.
