SC Freiburg vs 1899 Hoffenheim

TSG Hoffenheim have only won one of their last 11 Bundesliga games against SC Freiburg (D3, L7): 2-1 away in December 2021. Hoffenheim are on a six-game winless run against Freiburg in the Bundesliga since then (D2, L4) – they aren’t on a longer wait for a win right now against any other current top-flight side.

SC Freiburg are on 45 points from 29 matchdays – they have only ever been better off at this stage on three previous occasions (most recently 53 points in 2022/23). Freiburg have already bettered their points tally from the whole of 2023/24 (42).

TSG Hoffenheim’s 2-0 victory over Mainz last time out was their fourth win in the second half of the season, one more than they managed in the first half of the campaign (3). TSG now have the chance to win back-to-back league matches for the first time this season – the only other side to not have done so yet is last-place Holstein Kiel.

SC Freiburg have lost two consecutive Bundesliga home games for the first time this season, suffering as many defeats as they did across their first 12 top-flight home matches under Julian Schuster (W8, D2). TSG Hoffenheim, meanwhile, have lost two away matches in a row for the first time since the start of the season.

TSG Hoffenheim have scored a league-low 13 away goals in the Bundesliga this season, which is their lowest ever tally after their first 14 away games of a top-flight campaign.
