Since the start of 2016/17, TSG Hoffenheim have collected 13 points in eight Bundesliga home games against FC Bayern München (W4, D1, L3) – only Borussia Mönchengladbach have picked up as many home points against FCB during this time. TSG beat Bayern 4-2 from 2-0 down on the final matchday last season.
32 points from 33 games represents the second-worst Bundesliga season in TSG Hoffenheim’s history – they have only ever been worse off in 2012/13 (28 points) when they stayed up via the relegation play-off. TSG have won just one of their last nine league games (D4, L4): 2-0 at home against Mainz in mid-April.
TSG Hoffenheim are three points and six goals ahead of 16th place. The team that has blown the biggest advantage over 16th on the final day since three points per win was introduced is 1. FC Nürnberg in 1998/99 – they sat 12th, three points and five goals clear of 16th, but were relegated after finishing third-bottom.
FC Bayern München have only lost two of their 33 Bundesliga games this season, something they last achieved in 2016/17 under Carlo Ancelotti. They are currently unbeaten in their last eight Bundesliga away matches (W5, D3) and last recorded a longer undefeated streak on their travels between 2019 and 2020 under Hansi Flick (10 games).
FC Bayern München have scored a league-high 95 goals this season, while TSG Hoffenheim have the third-worst defensive record with 64 goals conceded. TSG have let in a league-high 28 goals in the first 30 minutes of games, whereas FCB have conceded the fewest goals during this period (7).
